(CNSNews.com) – Unemployment in the U.S. rose to nine percent in mid-February, up from 8.3 percent a month earlier, according to a new Gallup survey. The polling company said this suggests that it is “premature” to assume the economy will not feature prominently in the 2012 election season.
Gallup figures typically provide an indication of what the government will report at the end of the month.
“The U.S. unemployment rate, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment, is 9.0% in mid-February,” Gallup said in its mid-month unemployment survey, released on February 17. “The mid-month reading normally reflects what the U.S. government reports for the entire month, and is up from 8.3% in mid-January.”
Gallup said the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) would likely report a rise in the official unemployment rate in early March, when it publishes its February figures.

Be sure to take into account all the people who have quit looking for work, or who have only found part time work. Let's compare apples to apples this time, for a change.

Okay, but it would help considerably if Ekim the inbred wouldn’t keep conjuring up images of having perverted liaisons with the mortal remains of the dearly departed. And it would serve him well to admit 'necrophilic' is a word (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/necrophilia), but that's probably expecting too much from him -- given his very limited, cognitive abilities.You were the authority on everything,but mainly fucking dead people.I am sure it is because of your low I Q they don't outsmart you.And can't complain on your poor performance. to me you are just another right wing thug like whirrly cute old fart and JD barly.

Oh and I can add to the 99 weekers because my sons worthless father is one. He wouldn't get up before noon while on unemployment. The crap union he belongs to made it HARDER to get work so he didn't even try. Why bother. He lives in his van anyway.prostitute, single mother and racist. im sure they love ur conservative values at the tea party meetings.

What a conundrum your statement poses. You infer dead people have a low or no IQ; which makes it easy to outsmart them. From our mortal vantage, both of those assertions appear to be true. But taken to its logical conclusion, your statement also suggests that you must be among these dead since you have no IQ and you are being fucked with.

You know better, Ekim the inbred, go back to your little one-room, one-seater school house and re-read the recycled Sears catalog. Oh, and don't go after the 'used' pages at the bottom of the "long drop." Remember what happened the last time when you afterwards rubbed your fingers in your eyes and nose.
