		<description>This is good news indeed!  Now for the hard question:

How much of this drop is attributed to unemployment running out for individuals so they can&#039;t refile claims?

How many individuals gave up looking for a job, or perhaps took a job at 25-50% their original wage to maintain a lifestyle of survival?

How many new (non-government, non-stimulus)  jobs have been created in the same time span?

How many college graduates have entered the work force who cannot find jobs, but also cannot file a jobless claim because they never paid into the system?

How many people have actually returned to the workforce?  

There could a reduction in job losses as companies assess the cuts they&#039;ve already made.  This could simply be a lull before the next storm.

Am I a pessimist?  Not really.  I just don&#039;t think we&#039;re being told the whole truth.
