An article that I evaluated briefly analyzed how the United States appears to be in a state of "halt" economy-wise. Unemployment rose from 9.5 percent to 9.6 percent due to the fact that more job-seekers are available than the jobs themselves. In good time the unemployment rate may gradually decrease, but it will not happen abruptly. The road to economic recovery may require many months, or maybe even a year. Regarding the number of lost jobs during the decline, President Barack Obama responded, "It reflects the steps we've already taken to break the back of this recession. But it's not nearly good enough." I entirely comprehend this situation because I myself have applied to a couple of local stores, but never got the position due to the huge numbers of applicants and very limited number of openings. It is bittersweet news, because President Barack Obama announced that his new proposal will trigger job growth. On the other hand, the growing population of job seekers is rising as we speak.
