FWIW file, he
When the Federal Gov. calculates unemployment figures, they do so by conducting a survey of 300 employers (businesses). If the business has changed its phone number and cannot be contacted, the Federal Government reports something to the effect that said business has not cut any jobs. I think the jobless problem is perhaps the biggest one we face as a nation....and, working as a Title Examiner/Manager/Insurance Agent, I can attest that waaaaay too many folks are getting fifth, sixth, and seventh refi's....just to pay the bills. I can also state with honesty that too many folks who have no business buying a home are doing precisely that. Hoping for a *real* recovery.... 73, Steve Lawrence Burnsville, MN (P.S., I was going to chide you about not including minorities (whose unemployment rate is way higher)....until I read the last paragraph) "RHF" wrote in message om... | = = = "mike" | = = = wrote in message ... | "Diverd4777 wrote | | Ditto the agreement. | | Here in Vermont, the unemployment rate is effectively nearing 15 %. | With a state population of about 750,000 each job posted to the newspaper | gets over 500 resumes. | | Additionaly, Federal figures don't count those not collecting a check. | (inelligible, unable to find work after benefits expiring, etc) | | mike | | | | mike, Mike.

SMHL,
Already posted the Little 'm' Numbers: From: RHF ) Subject: It's SO obvious! Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Date: 2003-09-04 23:58:16 PST Jimmie James wrote in message ... Again, I'm going to respond via my own message...cuz that little twit in Vermont is a LIAR!!!! I just visited your states website. According to your (Vermont's) July unemployment records, which are the latest available, (Ausgust isn't out yet.) Vermont is sitting at 4.1%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JJ, The Good Old 4.1% "UE Rate" is for College Educated White Males ONLY ! So this Translates to: = 8.2% for White Females and Asian-Americans. = 12.3% for those who only made it through High School. = 16.4% for those who did NOT made it through High School. = 20.5% for Hispanic-Americans. = 24.9% for African-Americans. jftfoi ~ RHF .. .. = = = "Stephen M.H.
