However, by not studying or learning better paying trades, many act as if the very most they might ever want in life will be minimum wage. (Others go to college while working at call centers. A job need not be a career unless you decide to stop there.) In fact some act as if they believe they will be supported without working for the rest of their lives.

You can't collect enough taxes on people who don't work or own homes anymore. Get some real businesses into Escambia County. Pensacola looks like a dump as you drive down many streets and if you don't want tourists to see run down areas, build higher freeway fences!

This is determined by statistical sampling of households asking people if they are employed and if not then if they would like to be employed. And yes, those who do not live in this county are not counted as employed here or unemployed here. It is based on residence.

The current practice employed by the Presidential Administration is to base the figures on claims for unemployment benefits. What that translates into is when those benefits run out, the people are no longer included in the numbers as unemployed even though, in fact, they are no more employed than they were before the benefits ran out. So, if benefits run out for 5,000 people + 5,000 are still drawing unemployment, the "offcial" number of unemployed is 5,000 when in reality the number is 10,000! Must've hired Enron's former book keeprs! The REAL question is, “What are the TRUE unemployment numbers?”
