Certainly there are many experts who see continued cuts, but there's also hiring and job retention going on...otherwise we would be at 14% or 15% instead of just under 10%.
The real issue is, can the private sector sustain this on its own after Stimulus money runs dry? If you're of the opinion that the Stimulus has done nothing to create jobs, then I'd think the picture would look even better!

The real unemployment rate is closer to 17%.
They have yet to spend half of the stimulas $$$$. That they are holding onto for election purposes.
