Could it get worse?


Good morning, Netizens...


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. employers cut a deeper-than-expected 263,000 jobs in September, lifting the unemployment rate to 9.8 percent, according to a government report on Friday that fueled fears the weak labor market could undermine economic recovery. The Labor Department said the unemployment rate was the highest since June 1983 and payrolls had now dropped for 21 consecutive months.


How much worse could it get?


Of course, in certain areas of Washington, DC they still persist in singing this song:


So long sad times
Go long bad times
We are rid of you at last
Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So lets sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again


It could get worse you know? Or it could get better.


Of course it could. "If I cannot bring you comfort, at least I bring you hope.

The movie "Toys"
