:Q Wow, this sucks.


I'll have my "summer job" all through next summer, but when I graduate in 2 years, I hope the economy is better!

Maybe its due to the huge percentage of unemployed, dirty hippies. The figure is artificially high because they don't WANT to work.

Those people are not counted as unemployed. To be included in the unemployment figure, you have to be actively looking for work.
