And you probably think that's a coincidence.

This discussion is about ALL of the CORRELATES of unemployment. I am shocked and appalled that you self-proclaimed intelligent and well-educated adults think that you can isolate employment status from the complexities of the social world.

Please tell me that by talking about the "complexities of the social world" you are not making this into a "race" thing, either. I would hate to see this thread go in that direction.

Interesting that you can foolishly direct people to the military like a cheesy 1980s commercial aimed at high school students, but people can't talk about the correlates of unemployment.

I don't think race was embedded in what Kevin was saying, but there are segments of society that have been hit harder by the recession. That is as much of a coincidence as my directing you to my siggy.
