Nine Percent and Counting

A mazing how the economy affects the number of jobs out there. Within the last couple of weeks, I have seen a remarkable difference. The stock market did a couple of dives and now there are slim pickin's. No one has the confidence to fill the positions they had out there just yesterday. I heard someone say on the news that this just might be something we will have to get accustomed to. Of course, that person wasn't unemployed . . . obviously. That person wasn't among the 9%. I love that figure. It is always reported as either "up to" 9% or "down to" 9%. Either way, it seems like a double negative.
