With 4 1/2 months left in 2009, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that the “over 753,000” jobless claims received by Department of Workforce Development exceeded the 738,352 jobless claims received in all of 2008.
Snap question – what are the two differences between 2008 and 2009? Hint; it is not a recession, as the article points out that it “started” in December 2007.
It’s not an election year, so the state-run media doesn’t have the Democrats to prop up.
I didn’t consider that angle.
MN unemployment saw its first drop since this all started, down to 8.1% I think it’s the Favre effect!
Just wait until December.
Off-topic, what do you think about Favre donning the purple-and-gold?
