I'd say 10.1%.

BTW, in case anyone was wondering, unemployment can swing extremely rapidly sometimes. In 1949 the unemployment rate when up from 6.6% to 7.9% from one month to another. Also in 1983 the unemployment rate decreased from 10.1% to 9.4% from one month to another.

IŽd say 9.6-9.8% due to increased general hiring in the private sector and government hiring for the 2010 Census.

Voted for 9.7%

You said it'd be 9.9% on the other thread, though.

That was for December. Your thread is about January.
