Improving to Death

From a reader:

Did you catch this bit of journalistic cognitive dissonance today?

 

First sentence:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. unemployment rate rose to 9.8 percent in September, the highest since June 1983, as employers cut far more jobs than expected.

OK, then jump down a paragraph:

Most analysts expect the economy to continue to improve, but at a slow, uneven pace. (!?!?)

Does it not need to first improve , in order to continue? Silly me. Why am I working for Evil Wall Street when I could be writing intellectual masterpieces like that referenced above?

Sheesh.
