Many of those unemployed folks have flocked to the states where the

unemployment rate in TX is lower than most states, even though it

Correct. The report I read said the umemployment rate was up to 8.3%
(from 8.0) but 62,000 jobs had been added. The only way that can
happen is more folks moving in than jobs created.
It's government math. The those capable of working but who have given up
looking for work are not counted amongst the "unemployed."- Hide quoted text -

Neither are those who are working part time or flipping burgers with
masters degrees. Funny how some people were all too willing to count
those when the unemployment rate showed 5% but totally ignore them
when they are in control and the unemployment is 10%.

Nobody actually flips burgers any more- they have droids that do that.
All the human has to do is load the hockey pucks in the hopper, and
assemble the burgers at the other end. Saves on training and insurance.
Lean over and look at the register next time you buy junk food. Around
here, half the registers have pictures instead of numbers....
