Irredeemable #13 by Mark Waid and Diego Barreto, Boom! Comics (2010)Does that unemployment statistic strike anyone else as being a bit small? To those not reading the series, recall that The Plutonian, Earth's former greatest superhero, has gone rogue and has been systematically destroying city after city. Millions are dead, the world economy has all but collapsed, there are riots on the streets and people are living in a state of panic with absolutely no knowledge of where the Plutonian will strike next.
And yet unemployment just hit 27.8%? Frankly, I'm surprised that 70% of the United States is still going to work at all. In fact, I think it's pretty funny that the Bureau of Labor Statistics is still even counting. In the face of complete and utter disaster, the likes of which the world has never before seen--where anyone can die at any minute--those troopers over at the BLS come in to work to compile the economic indicators.
No one can claim that economists and statisticians aren't tough guys.

But remember, the unemployment rate only counts those who are working and those who are looking for work.
ReplyDeleteIf you are hiding at home you aren't simply unemployed, you have left the labour force.
And if all the businesses are destroyed I might give up looking...
