Utah’s Unemployment Situation Utah’s nonfarm wage and salaried job count for November 2008, as compared against November 2007, is estimated to have contracted by 0.9 percent. October’s employment profile, also an employment contraction, has been revised further downward by two-tenths of a percentage point to -0.4 percent. Approximately 11,500 jobs have been removed from the Utah economy over the past year, lowering total wage and salary employment to 1,260,900. Utah’s other primary indicator of current labor market conditions, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate, rose to 3.7 percent in November. Last November, the state’s rate was 2.8 percent. Approximately 51,200 Utahns were considered unemployed in November 2008, compared against 38,600 last November. The United States unemployment rate continued to rise, reaching 6.7 percent. My teacher said I was being disrespectful. She’d asked us what our favorite animal was, and I’d said, “Fried chicken”. She said I wasn’t funny, but she couldn’t have been right. Everyone else in the class laughed. My parents told me to always be honest, and I am. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much. I do too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal’s office. I told him what happened and he laughed too. Then he told me not to do it again. The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, just like she’d asked the other children. So I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken. She sent me back to the principal’s office again. He laughed, and told me not to do it again. I don’t understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn’t like it when I am. Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we admire most. I told her “Colonel Sanders”. She sent me to the principal’s office again. This school stuff is really confusing. Puddle Jumper Tree Care My mother was recently on Last October, after a flight returning from Utah. As much deliberation, I the plane was a small puddle bought a magnolia tree jumper, the flight attendants from our local nurswere required to demonstrate ery. After only a few weeks I noticed that the life vest, the oxygen mask, the leaves had started etc. instead of turning on a vidto shrivel and the tree eo. After they finished their appeared to be on its presentation, one of them said last legs in spite of my “To those of you who listened, tender care. thank you. To those of you who So I took some leaf ignored us, good luck.” samples and marched back to the nursery to Marathon demand an explanation Last year I entered the New or get my money back. “I know exactly York City Marathon. The race what’s wrong with started and immediately I was your magnolia,” said the last of the runners. It was embarrassing. the manager. The guy who was in front of “Good!” I exclaimed. “What’s it me, second to last, was making fun of me. He said, “Hey buddy, suffering from?” You can imagine how does it feel to be last?” I replied: “You really want how stupid I felt when he simply said, “Au- to know?” Then I dropped out of the race. tumn.” Southern Utah Hunter.com WIN A RIFLE!!!

If you drink a diet soda after eating your second cookie, it also has no calories because the diet soda cancels out the cookie calories (water has the same properties here). If a friend comes over while you’re making your Christmas cookies and needs to sample, you must sample with your friend. Because your friend’s first cookie is calorie free, rule #1 is yours also. It would be rude to let your friend sample alone and, being the friend that you are, that makes your cookie calorie free, as well. Any cookie calories consumed while walking around will fall to your feet and eventually fall off as you move. This is due to gravity and the density of the caloric mass. Any calories consumed during the frosting of The Christmas cookies will be used up because it takes many calories to lick excess frosting from a knife without cutting your tongue. Cookies colored red or green have very few calories. Red ones have three and green ones have five one calorie for each letter. (Make more red ones!) Cookies eaten while watching “Miracle on 34th Street” have NO calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one’s personal fuel. As always, cookie “pieces” contain no calories because the process of breaking causes calorie leakage. Any cookies consumed from someone else’s plate have no calories since the calories rightfully belong to the other person and will cling to their plate. (We all know how calories like to CLING!) Any cookies consumed while feeling stressed have no calories because cookies used for medicinal purposes NEVER have calories. (It’s a rule!) |
