The unemployment rate continues its race to the top 
or passing from 7.2% in December to 7.6% achieved in the month in January 2009. The situation does not see, for now, no sign of improvement. In fact, most are worse in the rates for unemployment, which also include other categories of unemployed workers which did not fall within the official rate because they have not sought work in the last four weeks.
Among these workers who have stopped looking for work because they believe that there is currently no way to find it (Discouraged workers) or for other educational or family reasons (other marginally attached workers).
These categories are also growing as is reflected by the first graph, and are now on the maximum levels when measured by statistics, that is from 1994.
Taking account of these workers, the unemployment rate is also higher, on Jan. 8, 8% against the 7.6% official, as shown by the second graph.
