Unemployment rises again

I just read on NPR that unemployment is up to 9.8% nationally. It's the highest in 26 years... I am surprised by this because people have been whispering for the past month or so about how we might be coming out of this. I guess that's not quite the case.

NPR also put together a great map of foreclosure rates, unemployment rates and median household income across the US.

I really think that it's going to take a new year to turn this around. It's not just about people feeling better, but about a new beginning.

My gut says: Q1 2010
