Kathleen, One of the reasons I like doing this blog is I learn so much from reading articles students choose. This is one of the best articles on the current employment picture I've ever read. It's clear, detailed and makes a lot of good points. Employment always takes longer to pick up than the economy overall, and this explains why. I agree with you -- now I understand why unemployment is so high. I hope you found it helpful.
