European unemployment numbers came out for September, and it's pretty clear that things are getting worse - starting to look like a renewed recession in Europe.  Hardly surprising with all the financial turmoil, I suppose.

Spain and Greece are worst, followed by some of the Eastern European countries and Ireland.
