Jobless rate up less than feared


Jobless rate up less than feared
"Muskegon community leaders and economic developers were bracing for the worst with the release of the local October unemployment figures from the state.
But despite the meltdown in the national economy and continued woes in the state's automotive industry, Muskegon County's unemployment rose to only 9.8 percent in October, from 9.3 percent in September."

WOW!
"Experts" had "feared" for worst.
And were wrong AGAIN!

Can anyone tell me why anyone listens to "experts" who are so consistently wrong in their expectations, fears, prognostications, bla,bla,bla?
And isn't it interesting that the focus of this story is on the "experts" and not the awful 9.8% unemployment!
