PLAN TO RUN FOR CONGRESS IN 2010?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. They say that 9.5% of the workforce is unemployed as of the end of May. But, I hear higher figures being floated around and that the people who are no longer eligible to collect unemployment benefits are not being counted. I don’t know what to believe. (Chondra – Honolulu, HI)
A. The Department of Labor says that full employment at the end of May would have been about 145 million. According to a U.S. NEWS editorial, the real number of unemployed in May was about 24.7 million, making the real unemployment rate about 17%. Then, the average number of hours worked by those who are employed has shrunk to 33.2 hours, the lowest ever recorded. That means that another 10 million or more people are underemployed, working part-time in an effort to at least get some money coming in the door.
Q. What is the fishing limit in northern California? (Bernice – Washoe Valley, NV)
A. They run it the same as Congress runs things… The limit is as many as you can catch before the Game Warden shows up.
Q. What ever happened to drive-in movies? (Eugene – Paragould, AR)
A. When nudity and virtually explicit sex scenes started to infiltrate the movie industry, the number of automobile accidents near drive-in movies shot way up and their liability insurance got to be too high to afford. The rest got condomend.
