Jobless is a person who needs a job to survive and has none.
If you have a son and he's a mamone, i.e., he lives like when he was a 7 year old, in your house eats your food, you wash his clothes etc. He isn't jobless even if he is "looking" for a job.
If your daughter finished university and doesn't like to face the grim realities of working life, joined the Peace Corps and uses Peru or Kazakhstan as rich kid's play ground, she isn't jobless.
If you had a cushy job at Motorola, which your husband got for you when the going was good, you were fired three years ago and you stay at home you are not jobless.
If you decided to get a degree in marine biology thinking that you would earn living "saving" the world, and you have no jobs, you are not jobless, you are just stupid.
If you are in the college learning forensic science because you were influence by a TV series, you are not going to be jobless; you are going to realize you are as stupid as the guys who graduated in marine biology.
If you were fired from a manufacturer of auto parts, which sent production to China, and your livelihood was threatened, you were a real jobless for that time that took to find a new job. Because without a job you could not survive.
That's whjy I told pezz that jobless statistics are the easiest ones to ENRON.
Where else in the world you'd get that perspective if not in the BBR, hein? |
