Allen - ...What I don't see anyone mentioning, though, is the very low unemployment rates we've seen in the past several years. ... The key word is rates. With the government school system in a state of collapse in most cities, both its graduates and its dropouts are, in many cases, not legally allowed to hold jobs that are consistent with their starting skill sets. Unable to justify being hired at a legally mandated minimum wage and acquiring on the job training, they literally have no choice except to join the untaxed underground economy, the drug trade, and other criminal enterprises. Needless to say, they do not sully the pristine official unemployment statistics. Regards, Don
