This is simply an open thread if someone has anything to comment on about the discussion I will have taken part in on CNBC at 8 p.m. Eastern. It’s pegged to this ugly report:
The government’s report of vast job losses in November, the largest monthly decline in a generation, puts more pressure on Congress and the administration to move quickly on a fiscal stimulus package, mortgage relief and perhaps financial aid for Detroit’s big automakers.
The nation’s employers shed 533,000 jobs in November, the 11th consecutive monthly decline, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. Not since December 1974, toward the end of a severe recession, have so many jobs disappeared in a single month, and the current recession appears to be just gathering steam.
