State Posts Biggest Monthly Job Loss (California)
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-101003jobs_lat,1,5135799.story?coll=la-home-headlines

California's job market swooned in September, posting its biggest monthly loss of the year as the state's employers axed another 16,600 positions, according to a government report released today.

In addition, the state Employment Development Department revised August's job losses sharply downward to 7,800 jobs, a drop four times greater than reported previously.

The statewide unemployment rate dropped to 6.4% in September from a revised 6.7% the month before. But that was because thousands of discouraged job seekers dropped out of the labor force and are no longer counted in the official unemployment tally.

The latest California figures stand in contrast to an upbeat national employment report last week that showed the U.S. economy gaining 57,000 jobs in September.

4. Lovely
Isn't it great how the "liberal media" does a realistic report of unemployment when it can be leveled at an outgoing Dem governor, but does not point out how bad things are when the numbers can implicate the chimp's incompetence?
Notice how they contrast the state's numbers with the one time uptick in national numbers. They don't point out the number of people not counted nationally because they are no longer seeking employment ever, but if it will help prop up ahnold and make Davis look bad, they suddenly "notice" these numbers.

5. The conservatives are relying on job growth
To avoid having to raise taxes and maintain the car registration fees in California. In fact, they would like to reduce taxes even further. However, this is as far as the plan goes.

NONE of these hacks have actually discussed what these "private sector" jobs might be and where they would come from, it's all abstract and mysterious. We already have plenty of Walmarts, nail boutiques and home delivery pizza stores.

Although is talks a lot, Arnold hasn't articulated any kind of plan.
Except the plan to reduce taxes.

6. Arnold only cares about getting Ken Lay of the hook
We need a Special Prosecutor in California to go after Arnold, Riordan, Millken and Lay.

All four of those bastards belong in jail for overthrowing Gray Davis

IMPEACH ARNOLD BEFORE HE IMPLEMENTS HIS NAZI MASTER PLAN!
