Unemployement still on the run...

The article I read was about unemployment. For the second straight month the nations unemployment rate is still at 9.1%. Although the rate has not changed for the past two months, 26 of the 50 states' unemployment rate rose, 12 stayed the same, and 12 states fell. For Nevada, they're use to the unemployment, they've had the highest unemployment rate of 13.4% for the past 15 months. 39,500 jobs were added between July and August, but compared to an average of 178,500 jobs added per month in the first four months of the year is pretty shocking. Even New York, the "huge" city is suffering, New York lost 22,700 jobs recently leading the nation in most jobs lost.


I decided to choose this article to discuss because employment in our nation today is very important. I believe this article is very important to read because everyone today in our society is affected by the recession.
