Latest News - Is It Accurate?

The figures released today put nationwide unemployment up around 9.8% with over 200,000 additional filings for unemployment benefits in September. Thus far, I have not listened to or read much commentary on this topic. Gut reactions are not terribly accurate but I have to suspect a great number of those filings may be related to the completion of seasonal summer work across the nation. One thought I do have is the economic recovery will not come about simply by increasing the number of construction jobs on the market. We need some plan to stimulate the job market at every single level!
