The Economist magazine reports that the official unemployment rate in South Africa is 26 percent but that the real unemployment rate there may be even higher.

One hell of a start. Let's just pretend it's higher. Quality financial analyses at it's best. I don't see any reason to read any further.

Where do you dig these people up?

Is this guy going to tell me whether the DOW is going to be up or down this week?

Edit: If this dude started reporting weather it would go like...maybe it will rain, a little maybe a lot. Tune into the evening news and I'll tell you if it rained and how much.

See the "yellow" states. States with no minimum wage laws. Kansas [maroon] has a lower minimum wage than the Federal min. Go live there and enjoy.

P.S. DC should be tossed off charts that compare it to States. Demographically, it's a city and should be compared with cities. But leave it on if you like. It's one of the few "blues" you can get at the top of the chart.
