First round of pink slips are due to go out in 2 weeks.

We'll know at the end of the month who's right.

I believe the Unadjusted Unemployment Rate is somewhere near 15%. The Unemployment rate as advertised by the government and news outlets is misleading. It does not take into consideration the people who are unemployed and have given up looking for a job or are now on welfare.
