L.A. Times delivers the "happy" statistics on the unemployed this Labor Day. Not pretty, but not surprising either. A pull quote: "Granted, the situation was worse in the last three months of 2009, when 10% of the country was unemployed. But painfully slow economic growth and even slower hiring has scarcely improved matters since then. And now the country's workforce finds itself in an unusually uncomfortable position: For the first time since the Depression, unemployment is likely to be above 9.5% for two consecutive Labor Days."
