    Just because the unemployment rate rose only by 0.1 pct, doesn't mean that America lost jobs. Actually, since more people have started looking for jobs, there are more people unemployed because there are more people who are actually trying to get a job now.

    This article relates to economics because, when these big companies go to court they are using up a lot of tax dollars that are payed by the citizens. The reason why that bothers people is because now these big companies want the court case to be shut off from the public, who are paying for these cases to even be in court.

    The storm caused many gas stations, just like every other electrical usage, to lose power. Only 40% of about 3,000 stations in New Jersey are able to use power to pump gas, and in New York 30% of 1,000 are operational. Because of the shortage, there are very long lines of cars waiting at the running gas stations to pump their gas.

    With hurricane Sandy and all the storms New York has had to pay lots of money to help save the people, They can not be spending more money on a marathon when they are already raising money to help save victims of Sandy. They cannot afford more money for this marathon. Although the marathon does bring joy to the people and they could really use it, it will be hard to help fund it.
