Max: STL Unemployment 7.3% in Nov.

St. Louis unemployment hit 7.3 percent in November

The region most recently recorded a 7.3 percent unemployment rate in August and was at 6.9 percent in October, but the figures are not adjusted for seasonal variations, so economists don’t recommend comparison among different months. The rate soared from last November, however, when unemployment was 5.2 percent.

Nationally, unemployment was at 6.5 percent, with December numbers due out Friday.


We're #1! We're #1!

It'd be nice if he had a job with some kind of sick pay/vacation pay/holiday pay.... specially with the baby coming. Stupid that his company doesn't provide that- or offer raises. It's the downfall of working for a placement service. :(
