Unemployment has risen in every state in December

[undergroundpanther]

Jobless rates for December hit double digits in Michigan and Rhode Island, while South Carolina and Indiana notched the biggest gains from the previous month, the Labor Department said Tuesday. A common thread among these states has been manufacturing industry layoffs tied to consumers' shrinking appetite for cars, furniture and other goods.

5. U.S. Unemployment May Be A Bigger Problem Than Government Stats Say

The dismal U.S. unemployment numbers have gotten more airtime recently than Jerry Springer. And why not? The numbers are mind-numbing.

* A total of 2.6 million jobs lost in 2008 – the most since World War II.
* A jobless rate that’s at 7.2% – and climbing.
* About 11 million people out of work.

As usual, however, the “official” numbers don’t tell the entire story.
