Fla is #10 in most unemployment at 8.1 %

In 2008, the country lost 2.6 million jobs, and in 2009 at least 2 million more jobs are forecast to disappear. Minneapolis-based retailer Target Corp. said Tuesday that it will cut an undisclosed number of workers at its headquarters. Elsewhere, specialty glass company Corning Inc. said it would cut 3,500 jobs, or 13 percent of its work force, as demand slumped for glass used in flat-screen televisions and computers. And chemical company Ashland Inc. said it would eliminate 1,300 jobs, freeze wages and adopt a two-week furlough program. Roughly 40,000 layoffs were announced on Monday by a string of companies, including Pfizer, Caterpillar and Home Depot. Florida is #10 in unemployment at 8.1%, HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF 7.2%. No relief is seen for this year and until next year. Earth to Council- are you listening?

How much longer can you guys remain unconcerned and not care about receiving or paying fair market value?
