Regarding stealth employment pool and data from DC: Yes, the numbers are skewed. Remember, they keep changing the qualifications to be included in the current data. If an individual has been unemployed for longer than six months, they no longer count in the data. I think the criteria for data inclusion (or exclusion) has changed and it keeps changing depending on what picture is being painted for public consumption. I know others who are currently 'on the beach' at home. Some of these will be washed out of the IT/Consulting sector due to a lack of demand. The year 2000 crisis created a bubble in the consulting sector. Now, it is difficult for companies to hire them in the face of lay offs and losses. A better economy is needed to fix the problem.
