Re: Comparing unemployment statistics (none / 0)

I apologize to come back so late. Most of the time I only have a bit of time to make a comment and have to leave and sometimes it takes me a couple of days to come back. I wasn't aware I caused so much unrest here with my comment. I have now given some numbers and explanations in response to the accusations up-thread.

Sorry for all the confusion.

Re: Comparing unemployment statistics (none / 1)

No need to be sorry on my account -- I've been thoroughly enjoying the discussion and have found the facts everyone has brought out to be enlightening. Thanks so much for your numbers above as well. I'd been wondering because of some of your estimates whether you were on the east coast and see I guessed correctly.

Thanks for taking the time and I'm glad to see you again. Between wchurchill's Wild Ass Guesses, my sweeping generalizations, and your experiences, we make a pretty good team, I think! We even all dragged some facts in -- I'm quite pleased with us. Now if Colman can just sort it all out... ;-)

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes
