That's good news, it's dropped 7% from it's peak in 2009 and it's lower now than it was when Bush left office. Are you just looking for a way to bash the Bush administration? If so, you are succeeding.
After almost 7 years and after 8.2 trillion added to the debt, 10.8% represents almost 17 million unemployed/under employed/discouraged workers plus others doesn't appear to be good news to me. How many of those 17 million people would have benefited better had the 8.2 trillion added to the debt been used to actually promote economic growth and job creation? It really is too bad that the percentage number is the focus of liberals when it is good but the rest of the story is ignored.
