Chicago, IL —
Today, October's jobs report is due out and the picture again isn't expected to change.
Experts say unemployment should stick at 9.6 percent, the third consecutive month it's been at that number.
It was estimated that 200,000 new jobs would need to be created in October for the unemployment figure to drop, but only 60,000 jobs were added.
With politicians elected on Tuesday, this is a great opportunity to find out how they're going to deal with the unemployment situation.
• Do they believe that President Obama will actually extend the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts?
• What are the three things that newly elected folks think have to happen to get the economic picture moving forward?
• If Republicans were elected for House or Senate seats in your state or district, what's their tone today? Aggressive as it was during the election about jobs or is the reality of the economic picture starting to settle in for them?
