DanS is correct. It means more people are looking for work now and have re-entered the job market.

Do you feel like a genius for finally figuring that out?

Some states 9 months and some 12. Everyone recieving benefits is counted. You're right about people holding out for the job they want. After their savings runs out they have to take any job. That doesn't mean jobs will be created.Originally posted by GePap

So if unemployment goes to 7%, that will be a sign that workers are just bursting with so much optimism that employers can't keep up, I suppose. And if it goes to 8%, that'll be an indicator of an outright mania by potential employees.
Or we could just try Occam's Razor: Rising unemployment sucks, and Republicans are just trying to spin it so that it doesn't look as bad, which is what you'd expect them to do.

Again, the reported percentage is only reflective of those displaced workers collecting unemployment.
It says nothing about people without benefits, or the under-employed.
Home foreclosures are at a 30 year high.
Personal bankruptcy at an all-time high.

How do you why unemployment is rising? What if the numbers show (as they might) more job seekers? I don't recall many layoffs lately.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Any chump with a little bit of "people skill" and the ability to operate Excel can be a CEO. The real talent comes in being a crooked CEO that walk off with all the money as the company fails and gets away with it.Originally posted by MichaeltheGreat
and if more people could do CEO jobs, the market for them would flood and they wouldn't make as much money. May as well ***** about what NBA players make.

it's true that ceos have rather difficult jobs.
that doesn't mean it's right for them to be taking in millions in bonuses while running their companies into the ground.
if anything, they should be taking their cues from iacocca or jobs, who both killed their salaries in order to resurrect their corporations, rather than kenneth lay who boosted his salary as his business died an ugly death.B♭3Comment

More of them are like the former, rather than the later.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
