Who said I was a pessimist?

"In all of 2008, 2.6 million people lost their jobs, the largest slump in employment since 1945. Economists estimate the actual unemployment rate is 13.5 percent if you include underemployed and discouraged workers, who have stopped looking for a job."- From DemocracyNow.org

"Nearly as troubling, hundreds of thousands more people sought full-time work in December but could not get more than part-time jobs." - NYTimes (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/10/business/economy/10jobs.html?partner=permalink&exprod=permalink)

In other news, we'll all probably have a lot more time to write for The Daily Otaku! The glass is half-full!
