The 500th Blog: Unemployment rates released November 6th, 2009

My 500th blog could have been highlights of all the blogs; a compilation of all the best articles from my information sources; or a celebration of a new writer on the scene.

However our families are faced with difficulties on main street where prosperity has yet to trickle down from the Billions of bailout dollars to large financial institutions in the form of easier to get loans, lowering credit interest rates, or re-working home loans. The US Government can drastically lower our taxes. Wall Street Corporations could ease up off the massive quarterly lay-offs as a business practice and get busy growing their businesses.

I choose the 500th blog to share with you "another website," The Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The most recent unemployment rate released November 6th, 2009 is 10.2 percent (10.7 percent for men and 8.1 percent for women).

The highest rate of unemployment for a group is African-Americans at 15.7 percent (17.1 for Black men and 12.4 percent for Black women).
