The national unemployment rate for January, among other stats, will be released on February 5. Last month, it held steady at "only" 10.0% (with some questionable assumptions pertaining to how many were looking for jobs, as opposed to how many had given up looking, in which case they are not counted as unemployed, and no, I don't understand that, either).
If the unemployment percentage starts moving up again, above the psychologically important 10% rate, Ø is in even bigger trouble.
