Is unemployment over 10% where you live?

April:
4.1%

A little too much info.
http://www.lsr-online.org/reports/unemployment_bulletin_april_2009

 

6.1% in Fort Worth. 6.6% in DFW.

 

I'd move to Austin or Houston if I were you Dave, 5.8% and 6.1% respectively, and both are big on avionics/aviation.

 

Ask the chinese for a job.

 

11% here, but the real number with those who have given up on finding a job is closer to 18%.
Thank God I don't live off the local economy

 

Definitely some better deals in this thread... But, so far it seems to be just under 10%.

My job is about 10 to 15 minute drive in traffic... I have healthcare... But, we are a little underpaid for what we do, & subject to cancellation. So far, after proving my value, things have been going alright here.

Statistics mean nothing to the individual.

 

Chinese Unemployment Threatens Social Unrest

We're all in the same kinda boat.

 

yeah I know. just stiring the pot. unemployment topics rarely get to page two without some mention of china/india.

 

I kinda hoped this.
Why I didn't say too much.

 

....and now that we are here.

fucking chinks, stealing US jobs. what are we going to do about it !!!

 

Round up all Chinese people living in the USA and send them home forthwith. I'll email Obama in the morning about this idea.

 

The red states would want to impose a tariff. China would probaly charge a restocking fee.

 

It would be well worth it though.

@ HHB,, hehe,., Figured you smart enough to know better

 

according to my grandma (so idk if its accurate ) london is about 13.5%

 

Overall, London had an unemployment rate2 of 7.2 per cent, well above the national rate, but lower than the North East, North West and West Midlands regions. The lowest rates were in the South East and South West. However, for male unemployment, four regions, together with Wales and Northern Ireland showed higher rates than London, whereas London had the highest female unemployment rate. Indeed, London is the only region with a higher unemployment rate for women than for men (7.9 per cent compared with 6.7 per cent) and there are nearly as many unemployed women as men in London (144,000 women and 150,000 men).

Send this to grandma.


But to be fair, I think the key word here is: Overall
There could be a spike where your grandma lives.
