Jobless rate may rise as many are drawn back to labor force

1. The uncounted unemployed are coming out of the woodwork after hearing

the happy talk about a recovery and are not finding new jobs. So we get a more realistic picture of the extent of unemployment in this country and if that number keeps rising we will also get an even better picture of the overestimation of real job creation.

2. I have never bought into the "giving up looking"

bullshit. People who are unemployed are always looking.
