Would Women Date an Unemployed Guy? (Surprise: 60% say they would)
Posted by admin / Under Jobless Recovery
I can't wait for Labor Day. I'm feeling too corporate lately. That Human Resources Department (apparently they weren't around in Caligula's day) makes me behave. I do plan to commit several Human Resource violations this weekend at the beach, but that's why it's Labor Day! Speaking of labor, I saw an interesting survey from Zoosk that might provide solace for unemployed daters: 60% of women said that they'd date an unemployed guy, up from 52% in 2009; 90% of men said they'd date someone who was unemployed versus 92% in 2009. "What do you do?" can make or break things,...

Posted by admin / Under Jobless Recovery
PRINCETON, NJ -- Underemployment, as measured by Gallup, was 18.6% in August, up from 18.4% at the end of July. Underemployment peaked at 20.4% in April and has yet to break below 18.3% this year. Gallup's underemployment measure estimates the percentages of American workers who are either unemployed or working part time but wanting full-time work. It is based on more than 15,000 phone interviews with U.S. adults aged 18 and older in the workforce, collected over a rolling 30-day period and reported daily and weekly. Gallup's results are not seasonally adjusted and tend to be a precursor of government...
