Interesting webtoy from the NYTimes for figuring and visualizing unemployment trends by demography, age, gender and edumacation.
White college educated males (Mitch raises hand) over 45 are around 4.1% so far. Which is up from somewhere around 2% two years ago. Rates for women in pretty much every combination seem to be lower than for men, indicating that feminists can quit their whining about the unfairness built into the system.
Black males from 15-25 without high school diplomas are up toward 50%, unfortunately; the rate drops by about half with a high school education, and half again with college; the feminization of poverty would seem to have missed a spot.
Question: I wonder if anyone’s done crosstabs for people who were home-schooled, charter-schooled, parochial-schooled or alt-schooled versus recent public school graduates?
