The figure you are referring to comes from combining unemployment dat with participation data. Participation is listed on the chart I provided and participation in the college educated group is the highest. So the increase in the rate would be limited. My guess would be under 6% still.

It says right on the chart.... Numbers in 1000's

Of all the tables listed on that website, you picked the one with the most favourable looking numbers, which was data based on participation rates...ah hah.

Looking at one particular point can be misleading because there are fluctuations. Here's an assessment of the last year:

That is the listed rate. LOL. The other is an educated guess. However most of you lefties have avoided using the second rate when discussing Obama's performance

BTW.....Lovely people you support

hahaha....oh god. you call occupy wall street "lovely people" then point out one single person who shat on a police car - that's it? the protest has been peaceful and the only violence that happened was done by the police. it's not as though protesters are attacking the police, it's more like they are reacting to how the police were treating them.

one person shitting on a car pales in comparison to what Wall Street did to America.

Not much point to a protest if it doesn't create a stir.

Well ... not really. Tea Party members take showers and have jobs.

Also, they do not protest things that they voted for. Kind of like protesting Wall Street when they voted for Obama and his bailouts. They caused it to happen.

**TXgolfer** · 10-08-2011, 09:38 PM

They seem to forget that the banks paid their loans back too. With interest. No wonder they hate banks.....banks make them look bad. If that's even possible. Freaks.

Taste of DC is proud to have partnered with 4 local charities - DC Central Kitchen, Bread for the City, Luke's Wings, and the American Red Cross North Capital Region.

These are the four charities that lost $$$$ today because Taste Of DC had to shut down due to protests. I guess some of the 99% are expendable

Lovely people.

It doesn't matters.

Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street are very similar on difference of views and they do have arrests too.

**** to Tea Party. **** to Republican Party. **** to Corporations.

I'm going mocking at moron teabaggers too, anyway.

All of this has been reported in the financial sections. It will take a while to sort all of it out. Be forewarned that you should be wary about title when purchasing real estate now.

ETA: There was a lot of fraud in mortgages during the frenzy of the bubble. Someone said that she got paid to sit and sign fraudulant documents as an agent of a bank. She was just someone they pulled off the street and paid hourly to sign documents. She signed a made up name. Crazy stuff going on then.

I believe it. I remember getting tons of mail on how I could own my own home. I thought something was fishy considering the demographics of my old neighborhood in Charlotte. I didn't think most of my neighbors could really qualify for a decent loan even though most of them worked hard.

I wasn't surprised when my old neighborhood in Charlotte got hit hard by foreclosures. I could see it coming.

Which banks?

You'd rather support corrupt multi-millionaires and billionaires who bankrupted America who then turned around and bailed them out and even made it possible for corporations to reward themselves with milion dollar bonuses (of which they could have declined or deferred) while America lost their own homes.

That's what you support? Ok.

I'm with the lovely people.

Smithsonian museum closed after D. C. protest; pepper spray used
Jessica Gresko/ Associated Press

Washington — The National Air and Space Museum in Washington was closed Saturday after anti-war demonstrators swarmed the building to protest a drone exhibit and security guards used pepper spray to repel them, sickening a number of protesters.
Smithsonian spokesman John Gibbons said a large group of demonstrators, estimated at 100 to 200 people, arrived at about 3 p.m. and tried to enter the National Mall museum. When a security guard stopped group members from entering, saying they could not bring in signs, he was apparently held by demonstrators, Gibbons said. A second guard who arrived used pepper spray on at least one person and the crowd dispersed, he added....

Would that include the college grads that gave up looking for work? That is the kind of comment usually reserved for Obama supporters that point to lower unemployment figures as proof the stimulus is working. (Personally, I think it failed miserably) The real number of unemployed college grads could be something like 7 or 8%. Who really knows, but certainly it is possible. BTW, I find that figure a ghastly number for those that spent $100k+ for an education, making them go deeply into debt, only to find they are squeezed out by selfish CEOs that want to ship work overseas to increase profits; avoiding anti-pollution and labor laws in the process. Greed is really the bottom line here.
