Milwaukee - YOU'RE FIRED!

Greetings,

Imagine what it would be like to fire an entire city at once, sounds breathtaking doesn't it? Downright frightening too no doubt:

Milwaukee Population: 628, 088

Well guess how many jobs the Obama economy lost this week?

According to a recent news story:

"The Labor Department said Thursday that initial claims for unemployment compensation rose to a seasonally adjusted 640,000, up from a revised 613,000 the previous week. That was slightly above analysts' expectations of 635,000. "

That is like the whole city of Milwaukee + Oconomowoc roughly.

More stories about it:

It's like the bumper sticker says,









TTFN,

Jim
