"Real" Unemployment at 17.5%?

This is scary, but fits with what I am seeing in my church family. People who have been laid off are finding it increasingly difficult to find new jobs, even if those who have jobs feel more secure in them. Hopefully, as 2010 budgets are formally approved in December and January, the market will begin to grow the job pool again. But there are few signs for optimism at this point.
