Ohio's unemployment rate was 8.8 percent in January, up from the revised rate of 7.4 in December, according to data released this morning by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Ohio's nonfarm wage and salary employment decreased 59,700 over the month, from 5,271,900 in December, to 5,212,200 in January.
"Ohio's labor market showed continued decline in January," ODJFS Director Douglas Lumpkin said. "The unemployment rate rose to 8.8 percent as job losses increased in both the goods-producing and service-providing industries." The number of workers unemployed in Ohio in January was 524,000, up from 445,000 in December. The number of unemployed has increased by 181,000 in the past 12 months from 343,000. The January unemployment rate for Ohio was up from 5.7 percent in January 2008. The U.S. unemployment rate for January was 7.6 percent, up from 7.2 percent in December.

Mr. Beagle:
I realize that you desperately want to report "good news" here, but you should try to stay somewhere near the truth.
I certainly don't know where you get your information, BUT (There's always a "but", isn't there?) Middletown's unemployment rate has NOT "DROPPED" to 10.9% in January.
There was an unemployment rate of 8.3 percent in Middletown and 7.1 percent in Hamilton in December of last year, according to the Ohio Job and Family Services report.
Going from 8.3% in December to 10.9% in January unemployment means unemployment has sharply RISEN, not dropped! ------------- “Mulligan said he ... doesn’t believe they necessarily make the return on investment necessary to keep funding them.” …The Middletown Journal, January 30, 2012 |

Pacman -
I thought that the City's commitment to economic development was supposed to help small, medium and large businesses? What are their results to date? It makes me wonder how effective that they are?
As a downtown business person, how would you rate the City's performance? I'm guessing that your rating would be similar to mine and many others who take part in this Blog forum.
Many of us wish you and your business well. Keep up the good fight.

The experts are even saying the economy is in recovery and the recession is nearly over. Kind of funny how they only discovered last December that we were in a recession and now 6 months later it's almost over ? (scratching my head)
Middletown will be booming as soon as they put an income tax increase & property tax increase on the ballot. The money will be rolling in !! ------------- No more democrats no more republicans,vote Constitution Party !! |

Warren Buffett to CNBC: U.S. Economy In "Shambles" .. No Signs of Recovery Yet
Posted By: Alex Crippen | Executive Producer cnbc.com
| 24 Jun 2009 | 01:11 PM ET
In a live interview on CNBC today, Warren Buffett said there has been little progress over the past few months in the "economic war" being fought by the country. "We haven't got the economy moving yet." While the economy is a "shambles" and likely to stay that way for some time, he remains optimistic there will eventually be a recovery over a period of years. Buffett says the nation should concentrate on creating jobs.
Buffett also noted that he had a cataract operation on his left eye about a month ago. He joked that he thought it might help him see "green shoots" for the economy, but so far he hasn't seen any hopeful signs. Taking a firm position in an ongoing debate in the financial markets, Buffett says he's not concerned at all about deflation, but does think inflation will be a problem in coming years. Despite his negative view on the economy, Buffett still believes the stock market is attractive "over the next 10 years" when compared to alternatives like Treasury bonds. Buffett endorsed Ben Bernanke's reappointment as Federal Reserve Chairman, saying "you couldn't do better." He also praised Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. Asked about how Apple handled Steve Jobs' liver transplant, http://www.cnbc.com/id/31526814/ - Buffett said it is a "material fact" when the CEO of a company is facing major surgery. He thinks criticism of Apple over the matter is appropriate.
Buffett repeated his criticism of "cap and trade" as a method to control pollution, saying it would be a huge, regressive tax.

I always read that Warren Buffett was a discipline of Hussein Obama? It sounds like he has joined the rapidly growing ranks of the disillusioned?
Thanks again Pacman for helping to keep us informed. The national print and broadcast media (including our local media) sure keeps things under wraps............that is, except for Fox.
