A Beginner's Guide to Freedom From NPR’s coverage of the jobs report earlier today: “The high figure surprised everyone including economists and market watchers who didn't expect unemployment to pass 10 percent until the spring.”

I have no doubt that NPR didn’t see it coming, but was anyone here surprised?

The unemployment rate has surpassed 10 percent for the first time since 1983 -- reaching 10.2 percent in October. In September, the unemployment rate was 9.8 percent.
