The job market keeps getting tougher with no end in sight for Americans.

The government reports that unemployment in October rose to 10.2%, with the loss of 190,000 jobs.  That's up .4% from September and the highest since 1983.

If you count those people who have settled for part-time jobs or stopped looking for work, the unemployment rate is more like 17.5%.
