It's a high number, but it's not worrisome. February is a month when seasonal factors tend to have a bigger impact on the unemployment rate.
Sandra Utsumi
The unemployment rate is low, the labor force is growing, and the aerospace and defense sectors have been hiring at a pretty good pace.
Michael Slotkin
Right now, if anybody wants to work, look at the unemployment ads.
Carl Griffith
Sixty-three years ago the unemployment figure was 29 percent. Last November it was 28 percent. A rather sad end to one's life.
Harold Mcmillan
For our industry, it will mean lower worker benefits and increased employer costs. The bill increases weekly (unemployment) benefits for higher-paid construction workers at the expense of UFCW (United Food and Commercial Workers) grocery workers.
Cliff Finch
If we've got unemployment climbing over 7 percent and above, if we have continuing casualties in Iraq and if we have new doubts about the president's credibility, all the money in the world isn't going to save him, ... George Bush isn't there ... but his money advantage does not guarantee his re-election.
Stu Rothenberg
It is clear to everybody that France needs reform. Our unemployment is too high, particularly among the young, but employers fear that once people are taken on staff it becomes very difficult and expensive to lay them off in a downturn, so we need labor market flexibility.
Laurence Parisot
The moderate rises in unemployment of the past 12 months and higher numbers entering the initial stages of the repossession process, should mean that repossessions will continue to increase over the next few quarters.
David Stubbs
The demand for apartments may come from a different group of people. After the dot-com crash in Boston, rents started falling because unemployment rose faster among a group of people that was more inclined to rent.
David Stiff
With unemployment decreasing, our candidate flow is increasing . Fundamentally, that should be going the other way.
Neil Lebovits
The March report presents positive information for the area unemployment. Unemployment is on a downward trend. The amount of job loss from year-ago levels is diminishing as the area rebuilds and recovers from Hurricane Rita.
Robert Crawley
The most important piece of this package is unemployment and health benefits for unemployed workers, ... Nothing more important.
Tom Daschle
What's striking is that there's no improvement in terms of optimism in public opinion, instead there's a post-referendum depression. People are worried about jobs and their purchasing power. Unemployment needs to fall for six months in a row for people to take that on board.
Bruno Jeanbart
That ain't bad. In our humble forecasting, we've been predicting a gradual decrease in unemployment. Business executives have been reporting to us they feel as though their region is coming out of a slow-growth business environment. It's not rampant optimism, but for the fi rst time in a number of years, executives from every corner of the state are showing more optimism for growth.
Joe Ross
Moreover, the four motors of consumption -- that is wages, inflation, unemployment and consumer confidence -- are on a downward trend and should drag spending down.
Emmanuel Ferry
Homelessness is not just an isolated social evil. It is the catalyst and the breeding ground for other problems such as marriage difficulties and family breakup, stress, unemployment and alcoholism..
Eva Burrows
We wanted our Government to see the faces of unemployment.
Eric Small
This is a setback. We're returning to classical approaches against unemployment and youth unemployment.
Emmanuel Riviere
There are always some people who will say negative things just to get attention from the press, ... Our forecast is realistic. It's not spectacular. There are some lagging factors such as unemployment and energy costs that could bring it down. At this time we don't anticipate changing our forecast.
Ellen Tolley
The economy's not a runaway train but it's not in danger of rolling over. When you see stable growth for the economy and a lower unemployment rate, you wonder, 'how much further does the Fed have to go?
Edward Hemmelgarn
Advertising for travel and resorts virtually vanished with the war and those will trickle back, but there are other issues facing the stocks. Help wanted advertising has hit a 40-year bottom with the surge in unemployment and retail advertising continues to be soft with an uncertain consumer.
Edward Atorino
We are at the bottom of European economic growth, ... Schroeder had four years to fight unemployment and did nothing.
Edmund Stoiber
We have a flooding catastrophe, but we also have another catastrophe ... our exceptionally high unemployment.
Edmund Stoiber
Movements in the unemployment rate will tell Fed officials whether growth is absorbing unused capacity.
Ed Mckelvey
I think everybody is waiting for the employment data. If unemployment is still dropping when we've just had a report showing productivity is declining, then the Fed would be really concerned about wage inflation. That would mean we would be more likely to see more than one or two rate hikes.
Fred Peters
The hardship and suffering caused by unemployment penetrates every area of life. While politicians are tallying up the economic costs of unemployment, I wish they'd be more aware of the social and moral consequences which are unparalleled in many nat.
