Is it really on the upturn? Another 95,000 jobs were lost in the month of September.

''According to the Labor Department figures, the fall was almost double August's 54,000 job loss number.

The jobless rate held at 9.6%, but still marks the 14th straight month it has been above 9.5%.

A total of 159,000 government lay-offs were made in September, with the private sector adding 64,000 positions, the weakest gain since June.''

Do you really think so, TBN? I don't know why, but I thought, or at least I was under the impression that the worst was over. Looks like it may take longer than we thought for the economy to recover. Maybe it will never go back to the heady heights it once was? Not only in the US, but around the world.

Good time to buy land/property right now though....

And the Irish economy is even worse. An employment rate of 13.7%
