    I see that the Jan # for unemployment is at 4.7%. I have to think it just can't go much lower, sort of like you'll never get all the homeless off the streets.

    I wonder what the rate is in Canada, Great Britain, Europe...you know all those places that have all the things that we should have here in America if we just had John Kerry as President.

    Those are better numbers than I expected. I was thinking EU umemployment esp was double digits. Those people only care about a govt Subsiday and free healthcare. Not having a job is no biggie.


    I posted this on the NDNation and one guy who responded said he ran a small mfg concern in SE Michigan. His area has higher than average unemployment, and his compensation package is better than Walmart but he has a hard time finding employees who can pass the drug test.
