FIFTY FOUR %............... that is news to me.

You don't buy it? Not sure I do, either, but I reckon it's closer to the truth than 10%.

Think the way they asked the question.

Has anyone in house been looking for work this past year...?

To which I would say yes is probably true, and they got new employment for 1/2 the pay.

Good point, Horn.

I would say is more like 23-27%..........at 54% we would already be fighting a war.
