What about the 171,874 people laid off in October???

The highest in six months! The economy will need between 250,000 and 300,000 jobs to put a dent in the jobless rate.

Many people have given up looking for work and tens of thousands will lose their unemployment compensation in December!

Will Bush help them? Remember how he helped them last time--too little, too late!

He doesn't give a hoot about the people, just his big business buddies.

2. Laid off from good jobs, will be lucky to get a lousy job. Also high

schoolers have graduated this summer and are now looking for work. It is bad, bad, bad...
