The Unemployment Rate for People Like You
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I can't stand them editorially speaking but the NYT is hands-down the best paper in the world at taking advantage of modern web technology.<p>This shows, in almost painful detail, the bifurcation of the economy I was talking about earlier.  Those of us who are college educated with a few years of experience could be excused for not knowing we are in a recession (4.3%).  New graduates have it tougher (8.X%).  Folks without high school diplomas are in total crisis.<p>(The highest unemployment rate, to the surprise of essentially no one: black men 15-24 with no degree.  Its 8.5%...  sorry, missed a digit, 48.5%.)
