Unemployment Rates

From Neal Boortz:

The unemployment rate for September was 5.4%. That's considered to be low. Here's a breakdown:

Adult men – 5.0%
Adult women – 4.7%
Teenagers – 16.6%


Now teenagers aren't generally heads of households. That would mean that the unemployment rate for people who actually have to work for a living and support a family is somewhere between 4.7 and 5.0%.
I don't know about you, but an unemployment rate between 4.7% - 5.0% seems pretty darn good considering what this country went through three years ago.
