Ok I know a lot of people here treat you like a dumbass, but I'm not a judgmental guy. I mean, surely you're not going to claim that the population average of unemployment in America is specifically higher without any research at all to back it up your claim.

thought the unemployment was actually around 15%, and not the governmental lie of 10%
It's more and less accurate simultaneously. It is effectively the percentage of working age adults who are not working and while it includes legitimate victims of sustained economic malaise, i.e. those who gave up looking for work, and those who are working part-time when they'd rather work full-time, it also includes those who are not looking for work at all. So, for example your 15-17% includes extremely wealthy people who do not need work, disabled people who can't work, or work full-time, made no income this year, spouses who don't have a job, etc....

I think you guys are talking past each other, which is not hard to do with Twaddletard, there are two rates.necrothrash wrote:Ok I know a lot of people here treat you like a dumbass, but I'm not a judgmental guy.

That's the official story.Chevalier Mal Fet wrote:[
So yes 17% of working age Americans don't have jobs right now, or are 'underemployed' in part time jobs, but only 10% of Americans want/need a job and can't find one.
Oddly enough most of the positive news is coming out the manufacturing sector, the last place you'd expect it these days. If green energy takes off, it could return a lot of manufacturing to this country, similarly as China starts to consume it's own goods the cost of imports will go up and might drive a return to manufacturing in the US again. I don't think call center outsourcing is coming back but who wants those jobs anyway. The jobs recovery always lag the profits recovery in our system, since hiring won't start again until the shareholders are satisfied that their margins have returned to acceptable levels. But thanks to 'bipartisanship', Obama had to make almost half the stimulus tax cuts, instead of more public works projects that would have had a lot more of a positive impact all around.Bored, Esq. wrote: IMO we're going through a massive paradigm shift in the way our economy is put together. No one really knows where we'll end up, what's going to happen to "traditional" sources of employment, etc. You'll hear a lot of supposedly researched opinions...but none of these people can see the future.
Please tell me you don't really believe this.Chevalier Mal Fet wrote:If green energy takes off, it could return a lot of manufacturing to this country
Maybe not necessarily manufacturing, where I may have misspoke, which I think will come back subject to developing nations both expanding their manufacturing base and consuming their own goods, or the region around them consuming the goods of the highly developed nations.Bored, Esq. wrote:Please tell me you don't really believe this.Chevalier Mal Fet wrote:If green energy takes off, it could return a lot of manufacturing to this country
