President Obama has scheduled another job creation summit for December. It would appear that the same individuals that participated in his previous discussions will be participating in this discussion as well.

With the unemployment rate at an all-time high, and continuing to rise, one could argue that his previous efforts have failed and that it will be nothing more than another photo-op for the participants. Do you think that anything will come out of these new discussions that will have a positive effect on unemployment numbers, or do you think numbers will continue to rise?

Please keep the discussion civil, and follow website rules of conduct.

Thanks.

same old same old,unemployment will continue to rise

The lastest I saw was that unemployment will reach 12%. This number only reflects the people receiving benefits. They estimate that another 5-8% have used up their benefits. I am suspicious of "statistics" as they can be manipulated to provide desired results. Personally, I think the numbers are understated.

Sadly to say but I think you may be right here.

Lets also include the people that are out of work that couldnt even receive unemployment. maybe 25% of all americans are not employed or between jobs. something serious is gonna have to change in this country to lower this number and put our citizens back to work.

One once said that the president can't create jobs. Which is not so true, but hell. What people expect the government to do? Run their business?

I think we're heading for Armageddon slowly but surely and everything's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. I'm not going to worry about it though. If it comes it's gonna come no matter what I say or do. I' just keep trying to do the best I can and be the best I can.

The president is going to create any jobs because he can't. People have allowed the goverment to crush its people with taxes, and everyone is scared of the looming tax increase so no one will hire anyone. Then you have to remember that obama care is still out there hanging over all business. The only way this is going to end is for the people of america to stop treating the united states goverment as there play thing and (or) like a friend and to treat it like the goverment.
