Don't toot your whistle yet. The records do not show the code enforcement loss or Parrish Swifts loss after next Tuesday. Dickerson can claim hers but a commissioner cannot collect unemployment or sign onto the COBRA according to Bill Avery. Of course Parrish will have 5 months to make plans. He has been unemployed for 7 years so the 5 months will be of no help.

Go and Crawl back under your rock. Obama and his administration aren't doing a dang thing for this Country except running it into the ground. The only reason unemployment is decreasing is because there are some Real Americans left who believe in working for what they have....

We can buy water from Parrish instead of Spalding County, can't we? Raindrops keep falling on my head...

You have no clue. Not Dems and Gop. Obama said no second term in 2012.

The numbers have come down because the vast majority of the people on unemployment are not longer eligible.

Now that unemployment has been extended, we'll see what it looks like next month.

Unemployment in GA went up .5% back to 10.2%. That was on the news this morning.

"The preliminary unadjusted unemployment rate in the Three Rivers area was unchanged at 11.1% from April to May. Meanwhile, the number of unemployed workers in the area increased to 24,607, up 144 from 24,463 in April. The work force in the 10-county area totals 220,952 people with 196,345 working."

That looks like an increase in unemployment to me, not a decrease.

J.M. Are you writing these articles for BO?

Numbers can be made to support any side. All you have to do is twist them a little.

David, you are absolutely right. Unemployment benefits have run out and some people have given up looking. Somehow, that fact is always missing when BO crows about reducing unemployment numbers.

Our President Barrack Obama inherited the biggest downturn in the economy since the great depression. It was the leadership of Obama that stop a full blown depression. Instead of being sore losers you need to thankful for our great President. Obama 2012

What a great political system we have. Policies are implemented and do not take effect until the other party comes to power. What an ingenious way to deflect blame...and the masses buy it every time.

Yep, we are just now beginning to see the damage that Bill Clinton caused during his 2 terms.
