WASHINGTON (AP) - The nation's unemployment rate dropped to 9.4
percent last month, its lowest level in 19 months. That was because
more people found jobs, but also because some people gave up on
their job searches.
The Labor Department says employers added 103,000 jobs in
December, an improvement from November's revised total of 71,000
but far below most analysts' expectations.
Once unemployed workers stop looking for work, the government no
longer counts them as unemployed.
Through all of 2010, the nation added 1.1 million jobs, or an
average of 94,000 jobs a month.
The North Carolina Employment Security Commission says Wilmington
metro unemployment went up in November, from 9.0% to 9.9%.

If anyone wants to really lower the unemployment rate, just buy products made in America. It's really that simple, vote with your Dollars. Keep buying stuff made in China, and soon we'll have to go there to get a JOB!!! Wake up America, this is the largest transfer of wealth in human history. Take the time, do the research, and buy only products made in America.
