we saw this article the other day, quite an interesting read indeed..:xeye:
and quite a scary picture, but from what we have seen so far this year - a million new unemployed - it is only the start.
the bigger problem tho may be those who will not show up in the unemployment numbers -- those just hitting the job market for the first time.
most now entering the market are-- well-- thanks to our dumbed down eduation system ill equiped to take anything but a low paying job, and without the industrial base which used to absorb those not headed for collegee we are gonna have a lot of young unskilled unemployed --- a third world situation, and the increased rime and gangs to go with it.
