The unemployment rate is 5.5%, not gonna get much better.

Oh, and don't count on the 10 million jobs Kerry promises if elected...

Should we count on the million we've lost as a sign of who we should vote for? Or the decline in quality positions nationwide?

What SHOULD we count on, X?

True dat.

That's an interesting article.

I learned about this in the 8 August 2004 edition of the Boston Globe in the Boston Works section. Their sources were Challenger, Grey and Christmas, the outplacement firm, through Reuters.
