Not sure what to make of it, but anecdotally interesting:

Jonah:
Is anyone else getting suspicious? I work in the high tech area as an engineer. I socialize with many “working class” people. I attend a church that has a majority of its members working in non-professional fields. Nobody is unemployed and as a matter of fact, nobody can find enough people to fill the available slots where they work.
At my place of employment, our best and least best engineers are leaving for fantastic offers at Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Grumman, etc. At our church, the tradespeople have more work than they can possibly accomplish. My family had to search for over a year to find a builder to execute a renovation at our house. The lead guy on our framing crew said that a few years ago he only hired people with experience. Now, he’ll take anyone who is a hard worker. Every fast food place, convenience store, gas station or whatever that I frequent has a “now hiring” sign posted every which way one looks. Something just doesn’t add up.
I wonder if you would take one of your columns and analyze the “high” unemployment rate that the Left has latched onto as the only chink in George Bush’s armor. I’m suspicious that extended benefits and other government perks haven’t caused some folks to just kick back and stop working. I don’t have the answer, but as an engineer, when facts just don’t go together logically, I get suspicious.
