Many of the Milwaukee "Occupiers" (a one Saturday event) were "laid off" or otherwise unemployed; part of that 9.1% as well as the 99%. I spoke with quite a few degreed professionals with 20 plus year professional careers who have been unable to find "any" work for 4 to 12 months. Others have been forced into early retirement. Others are serious students who can no longer finance their educations; or find employment. The stories are many and sad. Minorities in Milwaukee have more than 4 times that 9% unemployment rate. And those rates do not include the people who have simply given up on the prospect of finding work. Regards, George
