Unemployment galluping down

The most recent studies by the Gallup polling organization have shown a steady trend in reduced unemployment (= Increased employment?). Room for hope?

Regards,

Well it sure should jerk a knot in Ryan's tail. He was before the Heritage Foundation whining about Obama not working with the GOP. Hello, is this not the 'my way or the highway group' suggesting they work with anyone? Anyone other than the Koch brothers or that anarchist Super Grover

Even if true, this would just draw those who have given up looking for a job back into the job market, causing unemployment to rise.

Now that's a nice turn of a phrase.

It won't matter if unemployment is 1% come election time, it'll still be all Obamas fault that three million Americans are STILL unemployed.........................

So, is this slightly good news, if it holds, going to be the Keystone of Obama's reelection bid?

Just Imagine how much better things could be if he were to get out of the way.

Yes We Can!

Blecch.

In the back of the business section I've seen hints of recovery for a while now, references to 'increased demand' and improving productivity' generally in industry specific articles.

But the possible disaster in Europe (unlikely IMO, but severely unsettling, and an almost certain reccession there) and the rumored reccession in China, coupled with the uncertainty generated by a hope and change, um, occassional wannabe class warrior in Washington, is going to make it hard to get moving.

The backlog of foreclosures ain't helping either. And our looming debt crisis a'la Europe.

But it won't stay like this forever.
