Inflation: 2.1% (January 2007 data)
Unemployment: 4.5% (February 2007 data)
February 2007 inflation data will be released on March 16 and can be found here: http://www.bls.gov/cpi/home.htm
And ignore Shelly t and others who may think the unemployment rate is based unemployment insurance (UI) claims. They are uninformed. If you would like to know how the unemployment rate is related to UI claims, then see: http://www.bls.gov/cps/uiclaims.htm

those figures are never correct. they do not take into consideration the people that were on unemployment and can nolonger get it because there time ran out but they are still not working, or those that went onto disability, because they want to bring in more workman comp jobs. as for inflation it is so far from the rate of pay we will never catch up.
