Oh how I love CNN news text messages. This one plainly reads, "U.S. unemployment rate hits 10.2 percent in October, the highest rate since April, 1983. Job losses total 190,000."
When I got this message I was shocked. After hearing for weeks now that the economy and employment was improving, this little text shattered that concept for me.
I never did hear any solid numbers on the improving job market and economy so I guess I can't really have expected the claims to be true but it was something I at least wanted to believe. However, my hopes were false as the economy and job market are clearly NOT improving. Obama's plans are either in vain or have not been set into full motion yet but either way something needs to be done.
What should be done to reverse our declining economy and job market?
