Unemployment Rate Rises to 10.2%

And some say the economy is getting better....

I dont see it and neither do these 10.2% of the population.
Things are very slow at the place I work at and dont seem to be getting any better anytime soon.
What is the Stimulus package stimulating???

I just dont get it....

From the NYT article that I have a link to below: "The biggest losses came in the construction, manufacturing and retailing sectors. Health care companies added 29,000 jobs to their payrolls, and the number of temporary workers grew by 34,000 — a significant gain that could indicate employers are beginning to expand their businesses again."

So what is going on??
Is it a new world economy where temporary help at a LOWER wage is taking effect?
And all the stress of this unemployment among the masses is taking a physical toll on people to the effect that they are needing more medical attention thus increasing the roll of health professionals and thus more jobs in that sector??
Just a few questions to ponder....
