Unemployment Stuck at 9.1 Percent in September;103,000 New Jobs Added

The nation's long jobs drought continued in September, with unemployment staying at 9.1 percent as the economy added 103,000 non-farm jobs, the Labor Department announced Friday.

Unemployment has remained sluggish all year after declining from a high of 10.1 percent in October 2009. While there was improvement during 2010, it has flatlined this year, according to Steven Leslie, lead analyst for financial services at the Economist Intelligence Unit.

According to FOX news the dumb clucks are counting the Verizon workers who were on strike as now again employeed. I do not think of workers on strike as being unemployeed. That is some kind of finaggling being done to make Obama look good and not a true picture.
