Our current unemployment rate is 18.2%. Or, as a friend put it, almost 1 in 5 people.
Awesome.

That's really quite a lot of people out of work.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
At 8.9% we're slightly below national average. 18.2% is devastating. I noticed that southern Jersey is doing really poorly also.
Damn, central California's really taking a beating.
Shit. That is really, really bad. How has central California not descended into riots and roving bands of angry homeless people?
You mean moreso than usual?
California's central valley is a unique place. It's populated largely by recent immigrants from Mexico and Asia, and the descendants of Dust Bowl Okies.
Basically a population of people that is used to being shit on, and may not be aware that not everywhere sucks as bad as it does here.
