How come unemployment is still up?

 It don't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out! Millions of U.S. manufacturing jobs have moved overseas. Why you ask? Well one reason could be the fact that in China and other countries the manufacturing industry is not choked down with government anti- pollution  and tree hugging  regulations. To much of a good thing will kill anything!
If a U.S. company can make a bigger profit by paying less taxes and having less restrictions placed on them, why blame them for outsourcing? So you should thank our government politicians (Gore) for one of the reasons you can't found a job.
