NOT.
Not only did the unemployment rate decline, so did foreclosures.
Looks like the economy is turning around.

I bet I can checkmate you by finding sources on both the huffington post and MSNBC.com.

And you already know the unemployment rate has dropped to it's lowest level since 2008. Even if you dispute the latest report (which we know you do) it's been dropping relatively steadily albeit slowly.
These are all indicators that the economy is recovering.

U.S. foreclosure filings dropped to a five-year low in September as fewer homes were on track to be seized by lenders.
