Unemployment rate falls to 9.7 percent


“I don't think we're close yet to even a stable rate at this point,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Economy.com. “We have yet to see any hiring. Until we get real, positive, substantive job growth, it's hard to conclude this is a self-sustaining economy."

Even if job growth returns to the pace of the boom years in the middle of the last decade, it would take years to create the millions of new jobs needed to bring employment back to pre-recession levels.

“Getting those jobs back is going to be very difficult,” said William Gross, a founder of investment manager PIMCO. He pointed out that a third of the jobs lost were in fields related to the housing boom, including construction workers and real estate agents. "Those jobs aren't coming back.”

I recently read this article on the unemployment rate and was trying to analyze the rhetoric marks in the article itself. With Marks Zandi remark on “I don't think we're close yet to even a stable rate at this point,” is a pathos reasoning. With a personal remark on a emotional decision. "We have yet to see any hiring." would be his logos reasoning, based on what he has seen. Also in his remarks are based on his profession as an economist, is his ethos. Detemining his emotional cedibility and moral characteristics. It backs up his support on the topic based on his knowledge in that field. "Getting those jobs back is going to be very difficult," and "Those Jobs aren't coming back" is a mixture of logos and pathos. It drives the emotion of your decision with your logical reasoning. Letting this author in the article state out his reasonings with his logic, emotion, and morals using the three different rhetoric arts.
