Hard times are hitting people differently. A neat feature on the New York Times’ site allows you to change a few
variables—race, gender, age and education level—and see how unemployment rates change.
At one extreme,
the jobless rate is 48.5 percent for 15- to 24-year-old black males lacking a high school education.
At the other
end of the spectrum, white males ages 25 to 44 years and having a college education are enjoying a rate of only 3.9 percent.
Now if only the Times would allow us to refine the search by industry or job category.
Here’s the
link.

I have been in training for a short time now but right off I can see that safety and quality are the number one issues, my experience as of late has been a positive one, the employees along with Jeff the plant manager and the operation supervisor as well as the engineers are a highly motivated group of people, what an asset for the area to have and for company's in need of a quality metal products.

While I understand the severity of their actions as well as everyones eagerness to hold them responsible for thier lost funds, these gentlemen did know how to make money. Dispite thier poor decisions over the ownership of Fair they had made several wise investments which paid them greatly. This proves they do have the potential to rebuild so they can repay. I do not feel they should live the life of luxuary but given an opportunity could they find ways of repaying the debts? They are doing nothing now but being a burden on tax payers. Just a thought!!!!!
