Labor Day Statistics & Prayer

After some research, here are the 2009 unemployment rates for the US, for Ohio, and for Fairfield County, Ohio. Together, let's say the following prayer as we observe Labor Day today.

2009 January & July Unemployment Rates
January & July
US - 5.4% & 9.7%
Ohio - 6.4% & 11.1%
Fairfield County, Ohio - 7.9% & 9.3%

Labor Day Prayer
Heavenly Father, we remember before you those who suffer want and anxiety from lack of work. Guide the people of this land so to use our public and private wealth that all may find suitable and fulfilling employment, and receive just payment for their labor; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
