9.1% Unempleyment. Men 8.9%, Women 8%. /scratches head.

That was just on MSNBC. What's the rest, unemployed robots?

[geckosfeet]

1. unempleyment is indeed a head scratcher

[highplainsdem]

2. Teens, I think. The unemployment rate for teens is over 20%.

I'm guess those 8.9% and 8% figures are for men and women in their 20s or older.

4. Right.

I have noticed a few teens at checkout counters in the grocery store that I use. They come in for summer jobs. More seems to be around this year than last. I like when they are present, my checkouts are faster because more isles are staffed.

3. If people under 18 are included, the percentage goes up. With summer

near, the number of teens and college students applying for jobs goes up.

5. America's youth are asexual

That is the only thing that would make sense, even though that does not make sense.

6. LOL

"logical illogical"

[KG]

7. 9.1% ?

:rofl:

[kestrel91316]

8. 19.1% is more like it.

[defendandprotect]

10. Right -- Sen. Bernie Sanders said last Friday -- 15% ... and that's down from 17% ...

The jobs we're creating every month can't even keep pace with the losses

every month due to the trade agreements!

[defendandprotect]

9. Actually, it's hitting women harder when you adjust by "industry" ...

originally, males in construction dominated in losses --

but now then many females were connected to government programs and they were out --

and now teachers -- mainly females --

Think it was Hartmann yesterday discussing this with someone who had good

info which unfortunately I wasn't paying enough attention to !!

[Motown_Johnny]

11. so (D)s should all be saying that the unemployment rate for women is down to 8%

and then we can start talking about the need for construction and manufacturing jobs to help men find employment. That leads right into the stimulus and the auto bail outs, the things the (D)s were trying to work on until the (R)s screwed the pooch on all of it.

Teens, well.... we don't need to mention them unless someone else brings them up first.
