    Employment dropped 673,000 jobs from Nov. to Oct.

    1.8 million jobs lost since May of 08.

    The population is increasing. We need about 250k in monthly job gains just to break even.

    This recession is going to get interesting!

    TRUE,

    Why did the large employment loss numbers only start to appear so close to and after the Election???

    Why did it take so long to announce a recession started 12 months ago.

    Politics...NO FREE MARKET HERE !
