Battles Loom on Unemployment Insurance
Yesterday’s report of rising initial unemployment claims marked the fourth such increase in the last five weeks, and as Laura posted here , the 500,000 initial claims last week were the most since November 2009. In the context of utterly stagnant private sector job growth, these reports scream for major stimulative action, including major new... 
The Real Unemployment Numbers
The REAL unemployment rate : The U.S. unemployment numbers are out today, and most headlines will show that the U.S. unemployment rate in November was 10.0 percent, down from 10.2 percent in October. That number is depressingly large, but even that under-counts the true number of unemployed. For instance, it doesn’t count those people who don’t... 
Unemployment Over 10%

In October, non-farm payroll employment dropped by 190,000 jobs. Over the past three months, job losses have averaged 188,000 a month, however, declines are much... 
Owning Your Career
As of September 2009, due to the recession, over 15.1 million jobs have been lost since the start of the recession in December 2007 and the unemployment rate is currently at 9.8% nationally.

Take Action: Unemployment Aid Must Be Reauthorized
There’s been a lot of bad news on unemployment over the past year. I doubt I need to tell you how much. But since it’s not being treated like the emergency it is, it bears repeating. Unemployment over 10%. Unemployment plus underemployment—people working part-time who want to be working full-time, people who’ve stopped looking for work because... 
Unemployment Down to 10%
Sometimes a little good news can be an indicator of progress, especially when the news is much better than expected. The unemployment rate dropped, slightly, to 10%, with non-farm payroll employment losing only 11,000 jobs in November – the smallest loss since the recession began. In addition, adjusted job losses for September and October were... 
The Workforce Paradox: We’re Short on Talent, Not Just Jobs
It’s counterproductive to discuss whether we have a talent shortage or high unemployment. We have both. Even as the economy recovers, the Obama administration’s Council of Economic Advisors earlier this year projected that the unemployment rate would stay well above 6% until 2015. At the same time, the argument that my coauthors and I... 
Jobs Report: Still Treading Water
