Hiring in K.C.

[Zscoundrel]

I just saw a pollyanna-esk newsletter claiming the KC area would be 
adding 21000 jobs in 4th quarter of 2004.  Those are impressive numbers 
except for their BS like quality and the fact that many of us will have 
starved to death in the next 12 months.  I also have to laugh at the 
cluelessness of the people that get all excited about the unemployment 
rate dropping.  The just don't realize that fewer people are filing for 
unemployment because most of our benefits have run out!!!
