Pennsylvania TedThe current 6.1% unemployment(U-E) rate is a number that the rest of the world's developed countries would "die" for.
The average U-E rate these past 7 years of approx. 5% has been the lowest since WWII.
The last bad U-E rate was in the Jimmy Carter (malaise) days when it went as high as 8 %.
During the depression of 1929 the U-E rate was as high as 25%.
So, I don't understand your comment ? ?
Also, to your comments......
"How about making health insurance affordable for everyone? This country has the worst system on earth."
We have the greatest Medical providing system, when compared with any other country in the World....the excessive
cost of health Insurance is primarily attributal to several factors. One of the major factors are the excessive frivolous
libel suits. Doctors pay $100K-200K for malpractice insurance.
While Dentists pay a fraction of that. It's a vicious cycle between the Insurance Co. and the Lawyers.
So, what we need is Health Insurance reform and Tax system reform.....Now, that is real "CHANGE".
