What's the real count of those still unemployed, those who are
underemployed and those who've given up? Biggest numbers since the
1930s, I'd bet.

The Bush Economy is a failure. Just like its namesake.

What the heck is "underemployed?"

Insufficiently employed, not used to the optimum capacity. Chiefly of
persons or machinery.

As when a top industrial designer is laid off, cannot find new work in
his field, and is forced to accept a job doing whatever it is you do for
a living.


And, why are you posting through a German news server?

Because it is a great news server and offers portability. Why, does it
bother you? If so, why? Why do you post via Comcast?

Nobody "is forced to accept a job", you choose to accept a job. Professions
and lines of work have come and gone throughout time and their is no
guarantee that your particular profession or line of work will be in demand
in the future. How many wheelwright jobs are there today?

Just curious.
