I'd also like to see it calculated as a percent of total remaining employment (either private or total non-farm) since, at some point, monthly job losses will begin to decline due to there being fewer jobs left to lose. (Economics is a more dismal science if you don't know how to think about it, or dare to.)

With so many more people losing their jobs, it's tough to envision this getting better anytime soon. It seems like things are still bound to get worse first.
