Over 10% of somebodys don't have jobs at the moment.

When I was unemployed, there was a little bit of pride involved for me. I had just gotten out of art school and couldn't see myself flipping burgers to pay off my loans, so I did odd jobs until I finally got hired on as a designer somewhere.

Which is funny because as soon as I gave up, I accepted an $8/hr job at Disneyland. Later that day a web design employer called me back and hired me. I love Disneyland as a spectator, but it was pretty great to call them and tell them "thanks, but no thanks".
