Unemployment up.

I think you can safely double all the statistics in the article.

So once they stop extending unemployment benifits.  How long until people see the effects of the millions out of work?

I don't know. It seems to me that the ratio of people who have wised up to people who are still in denial has improved; a lot of people I talk to are now a lot more open to doing whatever it takes to remain employed, even if they are under-employed, not in their dream career, cutting their standard of living, or however else they have had to compromise their goals. But I still talk to a lot of people in deep denial too, even after losing their jobs.
