Sure; I wasn't arguing your numbers when I wrote 25.2%. That was the wiki number. Either is close enough to 25. My question is whether they counted women who were willing to work, or men (of other than white color).

Numbers numbers numbers....

>>The numbers released earlier this month, reporting 240,000 US jobs lost last month, are, in one sense, like all other numbers. They give you data. They show you the big picture. They add to previous reports to total 1.2 million jobs lost so far this year.<<

I watched "Kelly's Heroes" the other day (netflix lists it as a classic...) but one line did stick in my head that applies to today. Oddball (played by a very young Donald Sutherland) makes a comment about "negative vibes" being not good for the project. With the economy going like it is and the 1.2m jobs lost this year we really don't need "negative vibes". Thinking positive won't hurt....
