451,000, then 410,000---WHAT'S NEXT???

hello america!!! last weeks jobless claims has been revised from 439,000 to 451,000. this weeks new jobless claims is 410,000. if you remember, the gov't & others blamed the high numbers on superstorm sandy. while one might believe that business's could not open or get their employees in, the flip side of that is all the extra work the storm created...

well, i have some concerns---this is the retailers busiest time of the year with thanksgiving tomorrow & christmas right around the corner. so, hiring should have been up. the mail-order & internet business's even pick up. hell, fedex, ups & the post office hire extra employees for these times. everybody's geared up for black friday. so, there's got to be more to our high jobless claims then superstorm sandy...

let's see::::40 states & territories had an increase in claims while 13 had a decrease ; 3.34 million people (as of nov 10th) are collecting unemployment benefits; 2.19 million people (as of nov 3rd) are collecting emergency or extended benefits.

you don't have to be a calculus major to know we have serious jobs problems &, regardless of who's doing the math, the numbers are horrible. for the past 4 years, we've all heard the rhetoric coming from obama & company that they are the only ones with the 'vision' to put america back to work. &, we all know that that 'vision' was applied to our problems &, here it is, 4 years later & we're told it takes more time...so , i guess we have to wait & see that which we already know---obama has no idea how to put us back to work but, he sounds so convincing & sincere when he says he does.........
