Just had a pretty good interview, so that 14% might be 13.99999 if i get the job!!

Ive been Unemployed for 15 months!

Unemployment is really closer to 18%. All they count is those who are recieving unemployment benefits. Part time workers and those who dropped off of the public doles.

and?...
you can't count grade school children.

ON EDIT, you need to fix your sentence up to read like above ^^^^ makes more sense now, but 1 in 5 is a bit much for me to believe. they had demonstrations and riots in south America 10 years ago when unemployemnt was 8 percent.

Those can't be easily counted, and never have. You have to draw a line somewhere with the criteria you use. We couldn't count them before either. That still makes the index relevant.

I ran a poll on this site awhile back (if you search the Off Topic section you may find it) and apparently calgunners are 20+ % unemployed.

Also the number of people who answered that they were "full time" in their "chosen profession" was 50%

200 responses isn't really scientific though, I wish I could get a couple thousand.
