It's supposed to be a great weekend. But for too many Americans, it's a disaster.
* Unemployment has risen 1.6 points in 2 1/2 years.
* US unemployment rate has been stuck at or above 9% since May 2009--more than 2 years (except for February and March 2011 when it dipped to 8.9% and 8.8% respectively.)
* Embarrassingly, a single province in Canada (Alberta) added more net jobs in June than the entire United States.
So if you know of a charity who's working to solve this problem, please donate.
If you don't, please send the president your ideas on how the problem can be solved.
He needs your help. Unemployment was 7.6% when he took office. The next month it jumped up half a point and never looked back. We haven't seen 7.6% since.
Oh, and happy Labor Day!
