At least OVER 9000! percent and rising! Mothers will eat their babies!
Just kidding, I think it'll probably most likely be 11%,
If the national official unemployment rate hits 10.9%, that will be higher than at any time since world war 2!
Something else to consider.
If consumers decide to be frugal in the upcoming Christmas season (which I expect), then many retailers, suppliers and some manufacturers will be going bankrupt in January of next year.
I can't imagine it getting worse than WW2.......
Uh, please reread, as I explicity was noting the unemployment rate.
Also, the unemployment rate from 1942 throught the first half of 1945 was minimal.
What we need is a good old-fashioned war. If the government isn't go to pay people to dig holes in the ground, then they might as well pay them to make bullets and use those bullets to kill foreigners.
Bingo. Preferably the foreigners be Muslims.
