10% jobless rate
1. What is this article about?
through the end of next year, the rate of unemployment in the U.S will stay at the same low, with some increase to 10%. Also, the economy will recover from its recession alot faster than the unemployment rate. Ms. Romer (the chairwoman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers) said that a survey of economic forecasters prepared by Blue Chip Economic Indicators, a research organization, forecast that unemployment would peak at 10.1 percent in the second quarter of 2010, up from 9.8 percent last month, and would be at 9.6 percent at the end of next year.

3. Do you agree with what's happening in the story? Why or why not?
i think this article is a pretty accurate representation of the prediction of the economy
4. Do you think the information has been presented fairly? Why or why not?
somewhat, because it doesnt necessarily give the opinion of two sides, but i think everyone can agree with it.

Welcome back!
Dear bloggers, Nice job on your first round! I've read most of your posts, and you all did particularly well in assessing the information. (Those of you who still haven't published your posts, please make sure you do so I can comment on it.) Try and get more information in your summary, though -- part of the purpose of this blog is so other people can learn the news by reading your post.
In addition to 10 points per post, by the way, you'll also get 2 points for every comment you put on someone else's post. It has to be at least 1 complete sentence. ("I like this" doesn't count.)
Also, I heard on the radio the other day that the amount of economic news has dropped dramatically from a year ago since we no longer appear to be in a crisis and are instead slogging our way out of a recession (or at least trying to). As a result, I'm going to allow you to use articles up to a month old instead of a week old. Hopefully, this will make your task easier and still make you more informed on the state of the economy.
Don't forget the 5 questions, with slight changes:
1. What is this article about? Provide a brief summary.
2. Why did you choose it -- what did you find interesting about it?
3. Do you agree with what's happening in the story? Why or why not?
4. Do you think the information has been presented fairly? Why or why not?
5. Would use this news source again? Why or why not?

Bank of America CEO gives up '09 pay
http://aticles.moneycentral.msn.com/investing/dispatch/default.aspx?feat=1321588>1=3302
1 It was about the boss of the Bank Of America not taking any money bonus for the year 2009 he felt it wouldnt be right because the bank wasnt making enough and something was going on so he didnt want to be apart of the payroll dispute.
2 I choose it because it was an intereseting article that dealt with how someone whos the boss of a big company would rather settle for a little less then deal with a dispute that will only lead into a bad ending.
3 Yea I agree with the item i choose beacuse I liked how Ken Lewis handled the sitiution on how things would be settled with out lossing it all.
4 Yea it was in a way presented fairly and in another way it wasnt. The way that it was fair is that they told Ken Lewis that he will loose a certain amount of money because of a scem and i thought it was a little unfair because he cant get payed his bonuses until the year of 2009.
5 Yea i would consider using the site again to make any other research because it looked professional and looked as though the information was rock solid.
