    We lost 300,000 jobs. Another 300,000 gave up and are not included in the stas. Underemployed are not included in the stats. 8.6% unemployment is nothing to crow about. When the part-time Santas and elves go off the payrolls the number will jump again.

    You just made my point, the people at McDonalds must make around the same money and have the same benefits as those at BOA, Merck, Cisco, Wells Fargo, Lockheed Martin and others?

    An yes government jobs along with Aerospace and Defense jobs to be cut around 200,000......maybe McDonalds can hire these people?

    Retail and Financial Service will continue to cut jobs. Pharmaceuticals have and will continue to cut jobs.
