With a 7.9 percent unemployment rate in October, Obama is tackling the highest jobless rate of any president in the postwar era.</p> <p>However, things do seem to be looking up in the 2013 unemployment forecast. The <a href="http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm">Labor Department</a> recently reported the nation added 171,000 positions on net in October, with more jobs than initially estimated in August and September. According to the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/03/business/economy/us-added-171000-jobs-in-october.html?_r=1&">New York Times</a>, economists are hopeful that post-election policies in Congress will address fiscal tightening that may increase job and output growth.</p> </div>

You’ve been the HR manager for your company now for five years so you can tell that Sally really needs to talk to you and it’s about one of her employees. You can probably guess which one, but you let her tell you. </p> <p></p> <p></p>
