The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported this morning that the economy lost 701,000 jobs last month, while the unemployment rate jumped from 3.5% to 4.4%.

The question isn’t whether that jobless rate will keep climbing, but how high it will go. By most estimates, it’s likely to reach double digits in the coming months.
