OBAMANOMICS: NC Unemployment to Hit Highest Rate since Great Depression
North Carolina's unemployment rate, already one of the highest in the country at 11.1 percent, will "peak" at 13 percent in the first quarter of 2010 before it begins to improve, North Carolina State University economist Michael Walden predicted Monday.In his "North Carolina Economic Outlook" report, Walden said that "an emerging consensus" points to an economic rebound beginning "in late 2009 or 2010."

The ones in Gov. now are are just as bad as the Dems.I,m still waiting for them to get of their ass and get to work,not holding my breath though. lots of work to do to convince some of the idiots I work with to see the light.
Posted by: 1903A3 at July 7, 2009 05:53 AMWhy would it recover? The only reason to think the rate will recover is that it always has, however neither we nor anyone else in history has had the kind of deficitis Obama has created and recovered in any sense. But at the least these mooks are having to live inthe real world.
