Jobs: Can you get one?

This recession has caused many people to get laid of and has pushed unemployment to above 10%. The job rebound is likely to be slow. Some new forecasts suggest that the one year increase in jobs for the US as a whole will be about 1.1%. Throughout the US jobs are increasing, but in some states they seem to still be going down. Vermont, New Jersey, and Washington DC are all predicted to lose up to 1% more jobs. Most other states are beginning, to gain more jobs if not at least keep the number of jobs from dropping. In states like New Mexico and Texas jobs are predicted to go up by more than 2%. We may be turning around, but we still have a long way to go.
