The current reported U-3 unemployment rate is 6.1%. The real U-6 rate is
closer to 11%. The predicted 9% could easily approach 15% or greater U-6
rate. During the depression of the thirties it was 25% but we did not have
as many social programs that keep people off the workforce.

More than likely the most secure jobs will be in bushies massive homeland
security department.
I keep saying the next few years could be very interesting. I have spent a
couple of days rethinking some of my plans and leaning more toward hunker
down and safe harbor.
