I expect to be around all day, but I\u2019ll be away from the computer for religious purposes for the First Church of the Ellipsoid Orb. That\u2019s right, it\u2019s NFL day. My gelded Broncos (impossibly 2-0) are playing the Raiders. Could there be another miracle?<\/p>\n
There\u2019s some bad news on the economic front. The labor department just released its July numbers. There are 14.5 million workers officially unemployed in the US. The real number is much worse, because the official statistics do not count millions more officially deemed \u201cdiscouraged\u201d, because their unemployment has expired. For all these workers there are only 2.4 million full time jobs available. This is the worst jobs:workers ratio ever recorded. This is the legacy of the only successful Bush\/GOP undertaking: No Millionaire Left Behind<\/strong><\/em>. Let us hope that improves as the numbers are two months out of date, and because in a recovery, employment is the last thing to recover.<\/p>\n I completed today\u2019s Jig Zone puzzle in 6:21.
