If you want to read something scary, read about the underemployment rate, which is a measure of how many people are only partially employed or employed below their capabilities and skill level. These are the programmers, engineers, or other who were laid off at some point and then were only able to find work say as a waiter for example. This has been estimated to be about 25%.

As McCain`s buddies in the corporate world continue to shift jobs overseas, the underemployment continues to rise with no end in sight.
