The job market is suffering. Since the end of 2007, 3.6 million jobs have been lost. The worst period was October thru December of 2008, when the United States had the biggest three-month job loss since 1945. Last month alone, close to 600,000 jobs were lost. You can look up these numbers and more at the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the US Department of Labor.
The unemployment rate in the United States has risen from 7.2% to 7.6%. In addition, close to 8 million people are underemployed: working part time but preferring to be working full time. Millions of workers have become discouraged and have stopped looking altogether.
Big companies like Circuit City (now going out of business), Caterpillar, Nissan, Boeing, GM, Sprint/Nextel, Macy's, Starbucks, Intel, Microsoft, and Motorola are all laying off thousands of employees. Thousands of other companies are downsizing by either completely laying off employees or cutting back hours and wages.
