OT: I don't think you take a resume' to WalMart. You just show up at the cattle call and fill out an application, like any other minimum wage job. If you want figures, go and prove those 11,000 people "had jobs" as you contend. You're just clearly wrong.

Here's Oakland's recent unemployment data:

economagic.com

2005 01 116108.
2005 02 117562.
2005 03 107980.
2005 04 100236.
2005 05 195369.
2005 06 108809.

A HUGE pool to supply WalMart with 400 bodies...

We DO have a VERY bad President - the worst ever, in all kinds of ways. But employment DOES seem to be looking up a little the last two jobs reports!

The 5% unemployment is really misleading.
An economist was on CNBC recently, and pointed out that
if we counted our unemployed like Europe - our rate
would be closer to 10-12% - like it is there...

People drop off the rolls here after 6 months. I've seen many tech people unemployed after that. They don't exist in those 5% numbers...
