Americans for Limited Government President Bill Wilson today issued the following status on the worsening unemployment situation in the U.S., with the rate remaining at 9.6 percent and underemployment rising to 17.1 percent:
“September marks the 17th straight month that unemployment has been at or above 9.4 percent—the longest period of time of sustained unemployment since the Great Depression. The Pelosi-Reid big government stimulus programs have failed. They have failed the working families of America miserably while saddling our children and grandchildren with a mountain of debt.”
