Can Unemployment Rates Get Worse?

The title of the post is called "Can Unemployment Rates Get Worse?".  Well if you read the cartoon, they give you their answer.  The unemployment rate may be a little lower then it was this time last year but there are still tons of problems.  The two guys in the cartoon talk about how even the people who collect unemployment data are laid off and unemployed them selfs.  The cartoon has a simple message; unemployment is bad.  Unemployment is in the news everyday and is talked about constantly.  It brings up other topics like lay offs and even workers comp.

- You also notice that the two guys having the conversation are also out of work.  They are holding up signs that say "Need Work" and "Will do anything".  There is obviously a problem with jobs when guys will stand on the corner holding up signs saying will do anything.  Unemployment can effect everyone ranging from democrats to republicans, so its hard to figure out the political ideology of the author.  Again, the message of the cartoon is that we need jobs and lots of them to get things on track.
