Waiting for the Numbers
(2009-11-06)
(idaho) - The recession is over! The economy is improving! Stocks are up, corporations making profits again! We've heard a lot of hype lately. But are you feeling more secure? Do you know someone who's been laid off? How secure is your job? Unemployment figures will be released later today both nationally and for Idaho.

Boise state radio's Adam Cotterell explains why the monthly unemployment numbers are a sort of superstar statistic.
