unemployment at 16-yr high

WASHINGTON AP - New claims for unemployment benefits jumped last week to a 16-year high, the Labor Department said Thursday, providing more evidence of a rapidly weakening job market expected to get even worse next year. Tell me again how this is just a correction and how we shouldnt relly be concerned because its just inflation. I really need some good news because a lot of my friends and neighbors are out of work and losing their houses because of that. Too much Unhappy Talk from them. We all know that if they would just STOP talking about losing their jobs, houses, cars, and life savings we would NOT be in this position! Tell me again about how good the contractors are going to do with the new gym project. Its always good to hear that SOMEBODY is working, and even better if somebody is making outrageous profits! Right? If only those outrageous profits werent coming OUT of the residents pockets(the ones who ARE still working and can afford to pay their taxes, that is), it MIGHT be construed as Happy Talk! What we need to get out of this recession is more contractor Happy Talk! Since it was Unhappy Talk that caused this mess, it will be Happy Talk that gets us out of it! Yea! Hooray for Happy Talk! What we need is MORE contractors making outrageous profits so there will be more Happy Talk from them!
