So, the unemployment totals are down from last month and, as always, significantly better than the state at large. That's the good news. The lousy news is that the numbers are still ug
California's unemployment figures have gotten bad enough you are now allowed to mention the Joad familyHooray! It's that time of the month when the state's Employment Development Department releases its numbers about how much employment is not being developed. We're posting this article right now because the contents within are not suitable for reading after lunch.

As California teeters down the road toward the day when even pot roast-fed Republican legislators could earnestly suggest a marijuana-based economy, the word "staycation" has grown as annoyingly ubiquitous as tabloid headlines about those reality TV folks with all the kids.After stumbling across this video on Channel 7, one has to wonder: Is this really a sign of the terrible times -- like our Joad-esque state unemployment rate -- or simply a case of journalists feeling the need to churn out a "
Gather 'round, children, it's that time of the month when we reveal the state's Employment Development Department numbers -- which indicate our employment rates are (still) failing to thrive in this sluggish economy. Basically, the numbers are as lowly as they were last month. Which makes one wonder, is bad news still bad news when it's old bad news? Is it even news at all? How much wood would a woodchuck chuck? Anyway, we're already here and I brought a casserole so let's get on with it.B
stuffunemployedpeoplelike.comYeah, we thought it was Zach Galifianakis too. It's Joaquin Phoenix -- and be quiet or he'll eat you.You've got to salute someone who finds a way to succeed in down times. The man who invented and marketed the bindle -- he must have cleaned up during the Great Depression.

The Employment Development Department has issued September's unemployment statistics. When last we visited them, the San Francisco metro area's unemployment rate was hovering around the nine-point-sumthin' range, and IT STILL IS. In August, 9.6 percent of you San Francisco/Redwood City/San Mateo dwellers we
San Francisco's unemployment rate clearly knows nothing about how to keep fans interested. The California Employment Development Department released their most recent statistics, and let's say they're less than stimulating. The San Francisco/Marin/San Mateo Counties' collective unemployment rate was 9.3 percent in October, and that's what it was in September. Bo-riiiiiiiiiiiing. Snooze-fest. What's the saying?
