Are you sure that's Wolfgang? I was thinking Valerie Bertinelli had gained all her weight back and was trying to hook back up with Eddie!

Those who are unemployed can either sit around and complain how they weren't given anything, or get off their butts, hit the streets, and find work.

Just sayin'

I'm with Z on this one. Having camped out at Occupy-Whatever would be a strike against a job candidate. I want employees who are willing to earn promotion rather than have an attitude of entitlement. Likewise, they should be inclined to take ownership of the problem (do something positive) rather than pass the blame (sit around and say "I didn't do it so why should I fix it?").

Actually, 85% have a job. And with 26.7 enrolled in school, they seem to have a pretty full schedule for the most part. I don't think having a job was their main gripe. Disparity of pay? Maybe. They got off their butts, hit the streets and brought that to people's attention.....

26.7
Percent who are enrolled in school
Quote:
15
Percent of the demonstrators who are unemployed, according to a different survey, this one conducted by veteran pollster Douglas Schoen via in-person interviews with 198 people at Manhattan's Zuccotti Park

18
Percent of demonstrators who call themselves "part-time employed/underemployed." That's "a combined total of 33 percent who are struggling in the labor market," says Aaron Rutkoff in The Wall Street Journal.

9.1
National rate of unemployment, in percent
Sorry if this too PARFy. I was just making a joke about the "get a job" comments that started this whole tangent.
