BREAKING: Unemployment down to 9.0%, U6 at 16.1%

Fresh electrons from the Bureau of Labor Statistics: the national unemployment rate for January is 9.0% (down from December's 9.4%), while the broader U6 measurement of unemployment is 16.1% (down from December's 16.7%). We've got a long way to go, but this is moving in the right direction for now.

UPDATE: So the general consensus seems to be that this is bad news. Sigh.

    CJ, bear in mind this figure was conjured...I mean calculated before the Abbott and Pfizer announcements. Rumors are flying about impending doom at GSK and Roche.

    Will this ever stop? Is any pharma company growing?
