Broader Measure of U.S. Unemployment Stands at 17.5%

With the release of the jobs report on Friday, the broadest measure of unemployment and underemployment tracked by the Labor Department has reached its highest level in decades. If statistics went back so far, the measure would almost certainly be at its highest level since the Great Depression.

In all, more than one out of every six workers — 17.5 percent — were unemployed or underemployed in October. The previous recorded high was 17.1 percent, in December 1982.

This includes the officially unemployed, who have looked for work in the last four weeks. It also includes discouraged workers, who have looked in the past year, as well as millions of part-time workers who want to be working full time.

The official jobless rate — 10.2 percent in October, up from 9.8 percent in September — remains lower than the early 1980s peak of 10.8 percent.

Nearly 16 million people are now unemployed and more than seven million jobs have been lost

In defense of jaywalking

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:30:56 GMT

clipper's remarks: More:

today the word jaywalking is often used as a sort of blanket justification for the dominating presence of cars on city streets. It also reflects a social bias against those people not in cars. (Note this comment in a Federal Highway Administration report: "Still, almost no one can avoid occasional pedestrian status," as if they were discussing exposure to a venereal disease.)

…the Netherlands, which has essentially legalized jaywalking, has an enviable pedestrian safety record.

…Finally, read newspapers very carefully. A number of studies have documented that media coverage of traffic crashes is selective, framed in certain predictable ways, and often misrepresents the true frequency or nature of actual risk. Jaywalking makes better copy for columnists than actually probing the complex nature of traffic safety.

Looking at any number of big-city dailies over the last few weeks, one might reasonably surmise that we are in the middle of a new public-health epidemic with an old name: jaywalking.
These accounts—which are typically combined with grim statistics on pedestrian deaths and injuries, but no deeper analysis—could well leave casual readers with the impression that jaywalking is the single greatest risk to the urban pedestrian, that pedestrians wantonly solicit injuries and death with their depraved behavior, and that properly corralling pedestrians could solve all our traffic safety problems.
All of which is wrong.
the facts simply do not support the idea that jaywalking is the greatest danger pedestrians face, and that drivers should be let off the hook.
police, who largely tend to be in vehicles, often misinterpret such subtleties or exhibit a pronounced pro-driver bias
it's not uncommon to hear statements like he "came out of nowhere," when in fact the pedestrian was crossing legally

The Difference Between A California Car Accident Claim And Lawsuit

After a car accident, it is important to contact a California car accident attorney who can help obtain a fair settlement from the insurance company. California residents are injured in serious car accidents every year. Many of them never file a lawsuit. Instead they file a claim not knowing the difference.

A claim is usually settled with the insurance company and not taken to court. If the claimant feels like he or she is not receiving a fair personal injury settlement they can then file a lawsuit against the insurance company.

According to statistics, the number of California lawsuits has experienced a decrease during the past years. This is likely due to more victims hiring California personal injury lawyers. An injury lawyer will help to get fair compensation from the insurance company without filing a lawsuit.

The Obama Work-Out

clipper's remarks: War-weary Obama manages a decision … more golf! Boston Herald:

WASHINGTON - President Obama has outperformed former President George Bush in a key area - he’s hit the links as many times in nine months as Bush did in nearly three years, political Web sites reported.

Politico, a political news and gossip site, and the Chicago Tribune’s The Swamp, reported that CBS’ Mark Knoller - who documents presidential statistics - Tweeted Sunday, “Today - Obama ties Pres. Bush in the number of rounds of golf played in office: 24. Took Bush 2 yrs & 10 months.”

The Swamp noted that after the invasion of Iraq in 2003, Bush quit golf, saying, “I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf . . . I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal . . . ”

Come on, guys. Iraq was different. That was Bush’s war. Afghanistan? That’s Bush’s other war!

This really is a new era of hope and change, when the president looks better, more relaxed after taking office than he did before. What’s his secret? Drudge: High-stress basketball, rigorous gym workouts. And lots of golf! It’s that simple. Here’s the best part: It’s taxpayer funded and helps you avoid responsibility! (Important: Avoid straining yourself on weighty war-strategy decisions. No heavy lifting on top agenda items.)

Sounds like the president’s been following my advice on how to Live Forever, Or Die Trying. He could stand to focus more on being Fit for Combat, but I dunno about you, I’m inspired. I probably should do some bills, balance the checkbook this morning, but screw it, I’m going running! Get with the program. You can be presidentially studly for the holidays, too!

Children at risk in Europe's modern slave trade

(Deutsche Presse-Agentur)- - Children across Europe are at risk from the continent's modern slave trade, according to international experts.

'What we're seeing is a lot of young persons trafficked within the region ... and sold into begging, prostitution and forced labour,' Lars Loof, head of the children's unit at the Council of Baltic Sea States, told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa.

'Few countries have any statistics on the trade, but as an example, Polish authorities say about 20 per cent of all victims of trafficking are under age,' he added.

Human trafficking is commonly defined as the trade, coercion and exploitation of human beings for sex, labour or the removal of organs. According to a recent report by the Council of Europe, it is 'the modern form of the old worldwide slave trade.'

Lack Of Paid Sick Days

Clip Source: www.nytimes.com

Tens of millions of people, or about 40 percent of all private-sector workers, do not receive paid sick days, and as a result many of them cannot afford to stay home when they are ill. Even some companies that provide paid sick days have policies that make it difficult to call in sick, like giving demerits each time someone misses a day.

Public health experts say policies like these encourage many people with H1N1, commonly called swine flu, to report to work despite official warnings from the government and most companies that they should stay home.

Despite such recommendations, some employees say they have no choice but to go to work sick.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 39 percent of private-sector workers do not receive paid sick leave.
