#7 Ummm, i'm disabled, stroke followed by partial blindness and weak left arm and leg, also got CRS (Can't Remember Shit).
And Yes I get disability, it's enough, but I miss working and using my brain to solve problems.
Mostly I sit, seems like heaven, but it's NOT.

PS, I'm a Machinist. Or was.

#8 CRS (Remember) I'm also trained as a Master Mechanic, as well.
I can fix my car, but mostly tell the friendly Garage what's wrong, and they fix it.

#10 Need to stop listing unemployment numbers [as they're just rigged beyond redemption] and look at labor force participation [which hasn't been as manipulated - yet].

#11 the payroll number is a better number than the labor force participation number

they are both estimates but the former is from a larger more robust data base and furthermore is adjusted the next two months

a separate issue is that the +80k number isn't even as 'good as it looks' because the average work week declined

Oh Ptah, you noticed! :-). As part of the latest upgrade, Fred started playing with fonts. I haven't decided yet if I,m to keep it, or maybe get something a little simpler. What do y'all think?

#13 Wouldn't have thought that Germany would reach a lower unemployment rate than the U.S.

Btw in my home city it's 3.9%

#14 I'm concerned the new fonts are too hard to read. Frilly is nice, but with fonts readability is paramount. Frilly fonts should be used for titles and other one-time uses. They're hard on the eyes for extended reading. Readers tend to tune out. Learned this running my magazine for 3 years.

#15 "Frilly," gromky?

I see tw in-line as Arial font - larger than the font in the story.

Very nice and east to read.

That doesn't include all the unemployed Greek and Spaniards you're supporting with EZone three-card monte bailouts.
