...jobs, the question is whether the U.S. labor market's fortunes are about to plunge even more steeply. In the eyes of many experts, the answer is a bleak one. "Unfortunately, the worst is to come," says Robert Reich, a former U.S. Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton and a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Reich argues that consumers have only begun to tighten their purse strings, which will shrink business markets and force employers to cut costs largely through payroll reductions.

And on Friday Obama became the first presidential candidate to inspire Al and Tipper Gore back on the campaign trail in Florida, the state that cost Gore the presidency in 2000. Returning to the hotel in Kissimmee Wednesday night, the traveling press were surprised to find actor Jimmy Smits - who played a presidential candidate roughly based on Obama in the final season of the The West Wing. Smits had also been stumping for Obama that...
