JOB LOSS REPORT::: Biggest Loss since the 1940s....Over 2 Million lost in 2008

In December it is estimated that more than 11 Million Americans were out of work,(Total Jobless Number) with More than Half Million Job Loss for December Alone. 524,000 jobs were lost in December alone, so that The Number is almost 3 million is not a total shock,2.6 million is what the latest report says ( I saw another report earlier in week that stated losses at 693,000, I am worried that the number this AM did not count the December laid off auto workers- as they were supposed to be temporary?)....The number today sounds high, but I worry it does not count all the people that were already searching relentlessly for months with fruitless efforts ? And does it count ALL the Christmas Help that has now been laid off. Does it count all the people working at underpaid part time jobs ? ( No.) Does it count all the people that are working Less Hours per Corporate requests ? Does it Count ALL the Auto Workers that were Laid Off for "ONE" month in December ? I want the Truth, HONEST REAL Numbers....no more Bushified Numbers of this Titannical Regime....

Obama came right out today and addressed the issue and spoke to it. ( I will post the video when I can find it, but it is nice to see a Real Leader address Every Crisis as it hits, rather than hiding on his damn ranch...) Read more about Obama's Statement and honesty about the effects of this mess...

{{ 6-6 came to me over Christmas and said something that was striking, " So Bush can not say the "R " word, Can he say the "D" word ? Because I thought from my reading that once a Recession lasts for an extended time and is compounded with JOB LOSS it is officially a Depression ? ......I did not have an answer ...But I know I am not the only one pondering this issue..other thoughtful people have been going to Robert Reich's Blog , as he has a great post up about how the Stimulus Package should include Job Issues. He also explains economic issues with great clarity. }}

*** { Job loss number of 693,000 is the number I Posted yesterday, yet the number in the articles today is 524,000, I will try to find WHICH number is right....because it matters...just to let you know I did also see the difference...}***
