Question us news always going on about the unemployment. Does anyone bother asking about employment rates?

[Gillian Densmore]

I am so frustrated that most news sources. Only talk about Unemployment. No one ever  shows other stats though. How often are people underemployed that is have a job but it doesn't give them enough money to actually help with anything. And where's the discussion about how likely people are to get work in the first place?

When I googled this the answers were reely dismal and scaring Statistica sugged only 60% had actual work and  that of that it was 6 of 100 applicants meaning hundreds of people per a job offer..for min wage jobs and god only knows how many more underemployed people.

An interesting article about Kazuo Ishiguro in the New York Times.

He’s thinking about what the future looks like.   A lot of people adrift.
