After months and months of fretting about job security there is nothing freshly unemployed people like better than to announce they have become yet another statistic in the spiraling global economy. Some will resign themselves to seeking sympathy from the still-employed, by balking at questions such as, “Oh, so are you part of the 533,000 jobs lost in November?” by responding, “No man, I’m part of December’s stats, which are going to blow November’s numbers out of the water. Just wait til January, you’ll see.” Others will let themselves loose in front of their webcams to announce to the cyberworld of strangers that they just now understand how real the situation has become, now that they have become victims, and part of the escalating jobless numbers. Most will admit they don’t even understand what unemployment percentages mean, they just know they’re bad, and isn’t that enough?

*Real*, hardcore jobless persons count themselves as part of that awesome category known as “discouraged workers”: we ain’t unemployed, because we’re no longer trying to work! What what!
Well, with that kind of keen grasp on labor statistics, it seems to me the easy solution would be for all of these unemployed dole junkies, (supl…), to become labor pundits on MSNBC.
You need to do one now on falling out of the statistic — whether by becoming underemployed, or unable to collect unemployment funds, etc.
