News today: national unemployment figures jump to 8.5%. If you take into account part-time & discouraged workers, March came in at 15.6% of Americans unemployed, underemployed, or dropping out of the workforce in dismay of finding anything.
Oh, and you might also note that a full 10% of Americans are now on food stamps.
News yesterday: Rolls Royce orders for 2009 in the US up by more than 25% over last year's numbers.
Now, that is something to ponder. In case you were not sure about it, these numbers provide a sense of how the pain of this downturn is distributed.
