How many people here are unemployed w/poll

[tyler811]

I was just wondering if the % of people here unemployed matches the % of people unemployed in the US.

Does not matter if you were fired, layed off, down sized, quit, reduction in workforce or whatever, unemployed is unemployed. If your working under the table then no your not unemployed.

You do not have comment but may if you like.

No you can not see who voted in the poll.

Going on two years now....by choice. Might reenter the workforce next year because I miss the rat race.

Been working here for around 18 months now IIRC. It was 6 months of just fixing computers at home before this gig though.

Technically unemployed since Dec. 2003, but last week, I started paid training that MIGHT lead to an actual job. (mixed feelings about that)

Not everyone can be perfect.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

I voted no. I don't currently have a job but that is by my own choice, and I already have work lined up for the summer.

 

[Kadarin]

Employed full-time here at the same company for the past 6 years.

 

[Ricochet]

Last Friday was my last day of work. I was working contract at Boeing that lasted over 3-1/2 years.

 

[dennilfloss]

No longer working due to chronic fatigue syndrome.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

I am currently employed, but will be unemployed by the end of the month (by choice).

unemployment rate != non-workers

FYI, the unemployment statistic you see in the news is in relation to people actively seeking jobs but can't find one. The rate here will be higher because it tallys all non-workers like students who wouldn't normally be included in the unemployment rate.
