Questions: idioms, lexicon etc.

Hi
I'd have some questions.
1) Is it correct to say THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION? Context: "The E.S. in July saw less people applying for jobs."
2) Can you call the rigorous attitude of a person (for ex. a firm boss) "SEVERE"? I was thinking about the expression "severe but just", but I don't know if it's ok: not enough matches in Google (maybe because it's an outdated expression).
3) "BETTER STILLl" and "BETTER YET" are interchangeable? Ex.: "You can come at 8 am. Better yet, come at 7.45".
4) "AIN'T I GOT the right to a better future for my family?" Is this correct, although very informal english?
5) ALTHOUGH and ALBEIT are interchangeable? If not, can you provide sentence examples for each?
6) context: job ad. Is it "chance TO work (in a motivating enviromnent)" or "chance OF working"? Are both possible? Are they any different? If so, can you give me for each one an example?
7) "This tv series bores me EACH DAY MORE." Or is it: "... MORE AND MORE EACH DAY?" Or: "...MORE EACH DAY?" Which is better?
8) Can I "EXHIBIT A DISCONTENT"? EX.: People that demostrate against a government policy.
9) What's the difference between "DREAM ABOUT" or "DREAM OF"? Is the 1st literal (real sleep) and the 2nd figurative?
10) "IT'S BEEN 2 DAYS NOW that you haven't touched food". Is it correct? Or is it: "IT'S 2 DAYS NOW THAT..."

Thanks for your patience.
