Jay Fitzgerald’s article from today’s Boston Herald:
A University of Massachusetts report out yesterday warned that the state’s jobless rate could hit 9.1 percent in a few months – and possibly head into double-digit territory soon afterward – at the current rate of economic decline.
Breaching the 9.1 percent mark would push the state’s jobless rate higher than it was during the severe recession that rocked the commonwealth in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
