These are not fine days for labor in this country. A 9.7% "reported" unemployment rate (blame Bush) and a less than 50% approval rating from the public (according to Rasmussen - blame Reagan). But on the plus side, a friend in the White House for a couple of more years (blame Bush). You just have to hold on and hope that he's around long enough to tend to your needs.
Once that stimulus money really hits in late 2010-early 2011 you watch, that unemployment rate will start to turn around.
A bunch of garbage programs for homeowners that aren't working and chump change for the blue-collar worker--who isn't working--makes for a pretty crappy Labor Day.
There is the great barbecue weather and NFL football right around the corner, so that should help.
HAPPY LABOR DAY!!!
