Whether they are doing any business or whether literate or illiterate. So many question arises.

Can there really be that many people who are not working in America?<br /><br />My wife has stayed home to raise our kids for the last 6 years and now she needs to go back to work but has been having trouble finding a job. Is she part of the unemployed?SDben5http://www.waterconserve.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608702.post-16988767708045135572009-07-07T10:05:12.056-05:002009-07-07T10:05:12.056-05:00I am glad I am not going crazy, and I look at unem...I am glad I am not going crazy, and I look at unemployment the same way.Besorgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971819580344165047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608702.post-21812172341104170622009-07-06T05:47:11.279-05:002009-07-06T05:47:11.279-05:00I have heard that people that were laid off and st...I have heard that people that were laid off and starting their own businesses are not included in the "employed". Do not know if it is true or not.<br /><br />However, if it is true, I am wondering what needs to be changed in the statistical model for it to more fit in with the distributist model.<br /><br />As for the "brain drain", we are seeing it here in Michigan. Saying that, there is another type of brain drain and that is the education system. It is not preparing students for jobs and, in many cases, not educating students at all. This must be addressed under the distributist model (which I think John has already done in other postings).Peregrinus_PFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273447970383797552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608702.post-91035931675707867162009-07-05T21:34:17.243-05:002009-07-05T21:34:17.243-05:00As the old line goes "there are lies, damned ...As the old line goes "there are lies, damned lies, and government statistics." I have doubted these numbers going back to '05 in the Bush Admin. along with their rosy economic numbers even during the boom years as I watched manufacturing jobs fly out of the state ever since NAFTA was signed. <br /><br />As a (laid off from a retail job) unemployed white male approaching 60, and an "official" unemployment rate of nearly 12 where I live, I fall into the "I want to work" category - but I don't want a "job" - I want a BUSINESS. I am starting a web marketing business on a literal shoe string, but only after becoming exasperated and eventually falling into the "disillusioned" category to the point I stopped looking. <br /><br />I have also been reading a lot lately about the "brain drain" of young college grads which is a real problem here in the "rust belt". States in this region are trying desperately to keep these "best and brightest" here, but are not having much success. It becomes s snowball effect where one problem feeds another. <br /><br />I am placing my hope in Christ and distributivism that it will be able to turn things around, both for me personally and for the area. It's difficult at times not to get discouraged and start to lose hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
