9.8% unemployment in September

Unemployment in the United States hit 9.8% in September, despite the $787 billion stimulus that a Democratic Congress passed without a single Republican vote in the House and only 2 in the Senate.

That is roughly 2 points higher than the 7.8% that the White House had promised for September if the stimulus package became law.

There has been a net loss of 3 million jobs since the stimulus was passed.

Glenn Reynolds: “Not living up to the promises they made, is it? But don’t worry, health care will be totally different.“

Ah yes.
