WASHINGTON (AP) - Jobs are vanishing at the fastest pace in more than five years with pink slips likely to keep stacking higher in the months ahead, an urgent signal the country may be careening toward a deep and painful recession just as Americans prepare to elect a new president.

Whether that's Democrat Barack Obama or Republican John McCain, one of them will be dealing with the weakest employment climate in years.

Increasingly skittish employers dropped the ax even harder in September, chopping payrolls by 159,000 - more than double the cuts made just one month before. It was the ninth straight month of job losses. A staggering 760,000 jobs have disappeared so far this year.

The Labor Department's report, released Friday, also showed that the nation's unemployment rate was 6.1 percent, up sharply from 4.7 percent a year ago. Over the last year, the number of unemployed people has risen by 2.2 million to 9.5 million.

Perception is just about impossible to change....because in the case of perception...facts don't matter..facts are ignored..facts are buried by fiction

the lefties on this board make that so obvious....

well you know citizen of course as a registered Democrat doesn't want to vote for the Democrat but he is forces to vote against John McCain. So while as a Democrat he is forced against his will to vote for Obama only because he must vote against McCain. So let's be clear here he is voting against McCain not for Obama when he punches Obama's name.

Sure, if he were willing to have any substantive deviation from the internationalist fascist agenda. Obama has a chance too.
