Funny the way that works. I guess unemployment benefits are running out on a whole bunch of people. They call these poor schmucks "discouraged workers" because they are no longer on the unemployment rolls.

But hey, for the democrats what's important is that the story at the Strib says; "Unemployment rate drops to 9.7%". "The outlook for jobs became a bit less bleak". Woohoo! Good times baby! The stimulus is working! Happy days are here again. In fact the stimulus worked so good; let's have another!
