Headline of the Year (so far)
Jobless figures show demise of the slump may be exaggerated
It's a conundrum: central bank chiefs such as the Bank of England's Mervyn King and the US Federal Reserve's Ben Bernanke say the recession is over, yet unemployment on both sides of the Atlantic continues to rise rapidly, with Britain's jobless rate hitting a 13-year high of almost 2.5 million last week.

Unemployment is rising in the private sector; but the public sector has yet to see any cuts. Will there be any this side of an election? Or will Brown just continue paying teachers and nurses with newly-minted banknotes from the BoE, regardless of the pound?
