Freudian Slip - Chicago Style
We knew things are worse than presented... But this much worse? And in Chicago of all places - the city of (aggressively enforced) spin?

That would be the cops... becaus nobody else has any jobs
Haha WOW that has to be the most over heated economy ever!

No No No.. it's accurate.
Ten percent is full employment for private sector workers. The other 90% are either on the dole or work for the City of Chicago, Cook County or the State of Illinois.
Why do you think the CME wants out?
If you're unemployed collecting unemployment you're funemployed until your funemployment runs out. Then it becomes unfununemployment.
Does that mean that if you work for MickeyD you are
Bunemployed?
ori
And if you work in Germany you are Hunemployed.
Say you are a woman and if you turn a few tricks to make ends meet.. Are you cunemployed?
Similarly, aspiring comedians getting a gig at Yuk Yuks! are punemployed....
Queue the rim shot...
I guess that makes all those Greek and Spanish youth sunemployed.
A city that elects a Mossad agent as mayor has to have a sense of humor?
Considering that and the fact that Silverstein now owns the Old Sears tower... I would steer clear of that false flag waiting to happen. Just out of curiousity, anyone know if it has asbestos?
No kidding, most of Illinois is on the govt. dole of one form or another.
"The other 90% are either on the dole or work for the City of Chicago, Cook County or the State of Illinois."
Let me correct this:
The other 90% are on the dole while "working" for the City of Chicago, Cook County or the State of Illinois.
That's more accurate I believe.
Like the Beastie Boys said 'Engine Hotter than a Boiling Kettle'!
In my town, you better cough up 10% to the C of P or you don't stay in business for long. Hey, isn't that what JPM did in NY before Christman during the OWS stuff.

h/t whoever posted this yesterday
That is the true Obama economy. He said in an interview he'd be a one term President if he didn't turn things around in 3 years. Here we are 3 years and trillions of dollars later and things are even worse. Many of those people in line have fallen off the end of the unemployment extensions and have to find a job in a tough job market now. This is why Obama can't run on his record. He has to run a negative campaign and hope to scam the people into another term that will speed our demise.
Normally presidents try to leave the biggest mess possible for their successors as a means of revenge and hubris(I guess), but I think this Prez. overdid it as there might not be a country to run after the end of his (presumed 2nd term, if he gets it and stays the coursetm) or America will be degraded to a country you'd expect to see on the African continent(ironic isn't it that the Prez. is an hint hint Afro-(but not really)American)
chicago is a hell hole.
You got 4 negs. There are either 4 people who just woke up from a few decades slumber, or ZH still has four readers in Shittown who haven't woken up yet. Shittown is what the left would make of all America - a giant warehouse for human beings, from which, for most, there is no escape.
There are uncanny parallels between America now and Germany in the 1920tys, war bills to pay, economy in shambles, unsustainable social benefits, overwhelming national debt, clueless and totally corrupt leadership, and Jews in control of every major economical branch and the government(exactly how it was in Germany back then, .. the road there might have been different but end results speak for them selves) ... gee I wonder how's this is gonna end this time
Weimar nothing, Greece and Italy!
Only outdone in it's Hell-holiness by the State in which it resides. Illinois is the taint of America... taint a good place to live, taint a good place to visit.
As bad as Illinois is, if it is indeed the 'taint, then Indiana is truly the anus....
And that makes South Carolina... yesterday's sewage?
Be Careful!
You would NOT! want the Chicago's Finest Police Union(s) to file suit against You!

A 2nd Year Piggy is getting $100,000 a year..

so with a base that is paid that much in Tax Dollars.. the Dues Payments are up to date and the Esquires on retainer are all ready to go to work!

Being CPD isn't as profitable as it is dangerous. They regularly get shot down in uniform these days. Command won't back them and the politicians use them as perfect foils for demagoguery. Its getting harder to recruit.
The Tribune is a total joke. Really, both Chicago papers are and have been for a long time.
Wow! Now that is a booming economoy! But the official rate is 5%
I would wager that anything remotely approximating u6 would pin a 15%+ UE rate on Chicagoland (and maybe as high as 20%).
That nearly 40% of the working age population that is being so heavily discounted in the official UE stats makes us look so much further away from Spain than the Ministry of Mistruth & Injustice wants us to realize.
*Never Let A Good Crisis Go To Waste -- Emanuel/Bachus 2016
Does nobody get that there is a difference between employment and unemployment (1-employment) rate?
I also wonder sometimes about the reading comprehension here of late
Hey TD, how about (Please) bringing back the math questions?
Can x be complex??
Edit:
Before any smartass pipes in, I am aware that he would have used f(z) to convey that possibility....
Damn, Instant Wealth, calculus was 40 years ago. Most nights, after a hard day and a deep 18-pack, I had a hell of a time just solving the simple addition problems.
And I'm an accountant.
My luck would be getting -11/2 as a problem or pi to the 16th digit.
Amen to that. I used think they were just annoying, but now think they are needed.
Make them harder than before. But don't get up to calculus because that's where I stopped (went the law path instead of the algo monkey path).
Good idea, but please none of those "anti-robot validation" letter codes, as judging by my failure to successfully decode the letters in those - I am a robot!
Got it immediately, too close to the truth to be funny though.
I get it now but damn I'll be a Chicago Graft Machine Politician.
....in an admittedly cursory glance at the fast and furious news I did admittedly read that (incorrectly) as "10% unemployment rate."
Lash me with a tentacle of the squid and call me Ben.
Who's going to ride Ron Blagojevich's wild horses?
I will... Let me get my assless chaps.
What is unfilled? From this article it can be interrupted 2 ways. One way is the jobs are vacant and employers have not posted the openings for people to apply. 2nd way is jobs are posted and not being filled? The article does not say either way.
The punchline in the article is sufficiently well highlighted
If only the blink tag were still around.
I get it just saying how some may see it.
Agreed. Even my ADD riddled brain caught it. Take a 99 week unemployment comp + the best nanny state hard working money can buy and boom.
Illinois.
Lincoln museum is very nice though.
I admit I missed it. Wow, the 65% increase in income taxes really acted quickly to depress employment! Good thing the tax increase only leaves a budget deficit of $8.5 billion per year. That kind of manageable deficit will allow for lots of public works projects, like digging graves for south-side gang-bangers and the victims of their beatings and stompings. Seriously, shittown is just great, if you like your men and women defenseless and beating/rape ready. Yay Shittown! What a pathetic excuse for a city.
Anyone who decries Americans being asleep has to wonder about the Rumplestiltskin of America, SHITTOWN. It's such a hole that the next false flag will probably happen there, to give the system an excuse to bail it out. Let it die and go the way of Detroit. Shittown's rape and stomping-ready slaves won't even notice.
Those people are all working. They are the decimated ones.
Yes. I was being sarcastic because the "official number" is always lower than the actual number.
Of additional interest is the fact that there are two authors and yet they still didn't get it right.
Also remarkable that the following sentence is a run-on and shows little comprehension of English Grammar, also missed by both.
As if people read the article before jumping into the pit.
Yep
That was a whole lot of reading but missed the obvious point right under my beak...
90% unemployment rate, gee, somehow I overlooked that point as well...
Ok, OK I got it, I got it. So used to seeing UNemployment figures, it just went over my head.
Offically, we no longer count anyone under 5'6" in our statists.
That's how tall Daley was right?
That's about right.
If they save this story for a year or so they won't have to correct the typo.
The whole Illinois is a failed socialist welfare state that incentivizes people not to work.
And then dumps them in the ditch like rufinol victims once they're done: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2088709/Third-world-America-Pics-paupers-grave-Chicago.html
True, but at least we can say, thank god we don't live in Texass.
Me either. I live in California, another failing state if not for the hundreds of billions of dollars showered onto the hundreds of thousands of nerds in the Sillicon Valley each year. Oh, forgot to mention Hollywood. Forgive my North Cal bias.
Maybe stop paying people not to work? Oh, I'm sorry, that was insensitive
Perhaps the "Cash for Bastards" program should be discontinued as well. Oh my, how insensitive.
Unemployment will be under 2% when the government starts counting playing video games for ZYNGA fiat dollars as employment.
Am I the only one who finds it ironic that they'll go after unapproved alternate currencies in the real world, but don't raid and shutdown these game systems that create fake currencies with real money? Paying real money for virtual credit that is unrefundable is really a big con, but most people happily blow their money on virtual couches and currencies that are only useful in one place. Fools.
Why that's it!
For the life of me, I've been trying to figure out how to productively harness the energy that is dedicated to Crackville, and I just couldn't make it fit. But if you effectively harness it unproductively (via a government make-work program), who cares about the waste!
Now, if I only owned some politicians, then I could get this scheme to pay off.
I suppose the 100,000 job openings require the ability to read and write.
I M 4 U S I M, S I M. R U 4 reel?
Zimbols, all we neez is zimbols, no ned to red ans right.
Anyone aggressively looking for a job knows that while positions are being advertised, they are remaining unfilled.
Bogus numbers, hiring freeze, lack of job skills, or cherry-picking?
Amen on that. I applied for one job that has been open since 10/11/11 and it is still open. I am fully qualified. Same for one that is still open as of 8/8/11. It is ridiculous.
I am convinced now that the jobs that may be "created" are totally false and there is no intention of hiring for these positions. But they are counted as positions for the new jobs number. And if the date changes for the job "apply by date", well lookie there a newly created job!
There has to be a way that companies are gaming the system for the payroll tax or some other hiring benefit. I just don't understand why the hiring isn't happening.
I've also noticed a lot more contract jobs (meaning temp jobs) as well. How can I move if I know I only have employment for six months? I went back to school I played by the rules and nobody seems to give a shit.
It's time there was some honesty regarding the employment problem in this country.
My solution is unemployment rotation. Everybody gets their time in the unemployment line. Everyone can experience the joy of unemployment and living off the meager unemployment check. Even the politicians!
One word: Obamacare.
It is referred to as a small stipend while you are on a required "vacation". If we all share the work that is available maybe we
could get the whole family working 20hrs. a week. Mom, Dad and the kids.
Oh, you played by rules? Who cares?
My solution is stop crying like a Hollywood fenocchio and start acting like a man!!
Gee thanks so much for your constructive input.
You still don't seem to get it and Ray was actually treating you with grandmotherly kindness. You do need a Fight Club ass kicking every day until the lights come on...
Many of the positions there and elsewhere typically are high skilled technical, engineering or biomedical positions. Most require relocation (often without compensation) and in many cases people who are qualified are already quite happy where they are. At the high end of the tech spectrum, unemployment is actually closer to about 5%, which is only slighly higher than "churn" rate in the sector (there's usually about a 3-4% window that reflects people coming off assignments or new openings).
Mobility is a factor as well. If you have a mortgage that's underwater and can't find a buyer, you either end up eating the cost to get it down to real market (and take a serious bath) or you end up trying to pay for two mortgages. I've rented for the last several years because I was uncomfortable taking out a $600,000 loan for a three bedroom house while trying to work as a consultant, and while it's more expensive short term, I'm trading the benefits of home ownership for the flexibility of not being locked down. However, for a lot of people that HAVE bought their own homes, they can prove to be a real anchor for moving to where the work is.
Also, a fair number of these higher end jobs are employer "dream jobs" - they are used to create a base of "potential" applications if they need them, even if they don't in fact have an explicit position open at the time.
However, the flip side is also true. The quality of candidates is generally crappy to seriously excremental, according to the hiring managers that I regularly talk to - people who have at best entry level skills in IT, who are applying for fairly senior level positions because demand at the lower end is saturated, and quite often what are in greatest demand are either fairly obscure or are "buzz-zone" technologies that haven't built up a large enough developer base yet, and the developers who command the skills may not necessarily have the resume experience. This has always been true, but given the paucity of jobs overall, it becomes more obvious now.
Finally, a significant number of the government positions that Libertarians have been so adamant about cutting are STEM related - programmers, scientific researchers, medical personnel and engineers, and the irony is that in many cases, these positions were filled by private contractors. As government spending shrinks, so do the number of contractor slots, which has a direct negative impact upon the private sector.
So while I can't speak directly to bogus numbers, the answer to the other three options is yes.
Blacks are not the problem, or is education or is liberal handouts that take incentive away no, according to the clown in the White House, it is the Republican Party. Fuckin disgraceful
whats disgraceful is that you believe there is actually a difference between the clown in the white house and republicans......
Well yeah, just take a look at their primary campaign contributors, damn, nevermind...
Why are those jobs not being filled?
I guess we can have several reasons.
- Not qualified
- criminal record history for bullshit charges that our government loves to give people(some deserve it)
- Government Aid pays more than jobs being offered
We can go on and on but I would say those 3 would be my guesses why they are not being filled.
see my post below. nobody is going to take a hard labor minimum wage job when they can pull in close to $100k worth of government handouts and benefits. USA home of the millions of available jobs that can't pay a living wage. I had that argument with a co-worker whose family moved from China two gererations ago. He said the US needs to get used to paying Chinese level wages and workers need to accept it. I said, I'm sure you could afford the lease on your BMW and apartment in Hermosa Beach making minimum wage right? He pulled out a calculator and said, hmm $15k a year isn't a lot of money. I followed with, Dude $15k is minimum wage, $1500 a year is a Chinese wage, now where are yougoing to live.
I read your post below and totally agree with you. Its going to be very hard for anyone to take a cut like that in pay especially when it is free money to them. As long as the handout is there people will keep taking it until there is no tomorrow.
Where do I sign up for them 100k government handouts?????
Run for Congress.
I think there's a skills gap. The IT industry is booming but can't find people to fill positions because people aren't willing to put forth the effort to change careers. Sad, but true. Even worse, overseas IT people are horrible compaired to the US equivalent; I'm even seeing the US become a two-tiered system where there are people who have the skillz and people who kind of get by. Its really ironic seeing how low our quality has gone and how this just pushes up wages for people who are good at what they do.
More bullshit. Maybe people should stop chasing phantom jobs and instead start creating real jobs.
That's also the percentage of Chicago politicians NOT on the take...
Hmm on second thought that's still too high a number.
Hmmmm could it be that the 3.3 million jobs are just like the ones I see in the paper every weekend. "Local machine shop seeks skilled CNC operator for third shift opening. Pay starts at $8.35 per hour with 30 hour work guarantee". GEE I WONDER WHY NOBODY IS TAKING THAT JOB!!!!!!!
yep they just built and opened a new taco bell near me...$7.25 per hour....Great!!!!
$250 week, ballin'!
10%?
That's OK, we have found government statistics have a -900 to +900% range of error anyway, so those figures work just fine for me.
they have a 90% unemploymen rate,,thats about right ;-)
Thank you
Tyler to be honest you should bold that word with italics. I read it a few times before I got it. I kept thinking. "Oh, Chicago is higher than the national average." The brain in this economic enviroment takes for granted the smaller number equalling unemployment.
First you want to take turns on jobs, and now you want to take turns on reading comprehension skills?!
"Say Tyler, how about subsidizing my lazy brain so I don't have to think for myself!" Un-freaking-believable!!
You, sir, are a neo-zoom max dweebie. A big one!!
I tried to equate city, state and county payroll recipients with those that did not work.
Fuck you. :p
Right, bold it, put it in different colors and have a few arrows pointing to it as well - LOL
I'm a fucking retard and I figured it out....Holy shit what has happened to ZH,,,,Cheecky Bastard, Geopol, all the greats!!!What happened???Where are they??
Thank you for your patience Mr. Durden.
Vodka helps me...unlike the educated..
Tyler, don'tcha hate it when ya tell a joke and very few actually get it? :>D
Shadow market employment:
http://www.justice.gov/ndic/pubs40/40385/index.htm
I suspect many of those 'job openings' are from 'headhunter sites' and do not exist at all, or are duplicated site to site.
Yeah, these "jobs" are fake just like the clowns that push them.
There is not a skills gap anywhere in this country outside the CEO offices.
Back in the day we would hire some peeps and train them if we couldn't find what we wanted.
Now, just like everything else, if the peep doesn't come in with 20 yrs experience and willing to start for free they ain't hiring.
Looks better to offshore like their clown CEO peers that way when they bust the joint they can tell Buffy at the Club , well we did it like the books said.
CLown show is a disagrace to clowns compared to these "Masters of the universe" types.
They can't manage to wipe their ass with either hand. Weak and clueless right out of the best and brightest schools.
bwwwwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
To be more charitable than I normally feel, any right-functioning government should have a full spectrum of jobs available that allow people to go up and down the ladder so to speak. It should also have a viable plan to get people off the dole and into productive work. Both avenues are failing and the government in the US is hoping like Europe that by simply buying time, things will get back to normal. Normal never was in the last twenty years...this is normal and unfortunately increasingly hampered by boomer retirement. Expect this and less for the next 20 years...
10% employment is a dreamy and achievable number currently in Greece. Soon in the US also.
Here in Ontario everyone just gets on ODSB - Ontario disability benefit. Good cheques each month and free dental! Why work, when you can stay home and have the nicest teeth in town?
Here in Ontario if you can prove that your disability is chronic and cannot be cured (eg schizophrenia, a lost limb) you might be granted ODSP (Ontario Disability Pension) funded by the federal gov't via transfer payments. Client fraud has repeatedly been estimated at about 2-3%. I'll worry about the much broader bankster fraud, instead. Don't let the 1% divide us.
Sheriffs are protectors of the 1%...
Chicago just took the lead in the race to hit bottom. All other urban areas have a lot of catching up to do.
Just look how their last mayor got appointed, er elected.
Looks like a skill gap in the proofreading dept.
congrats ZH, just quoted on Rush Limbaugh radio show
My condolences.
ha ha, yeah, just whiling away my time
"Better than expected"
I have a friend that owns a decent size machine shop. Tells me that he can't get people even at $18-20 per hour. Says 75% can't pass a drug test! I told him- remember back in school that if everyone fails the test the test is wrong. Just sayin
Machine shop = place with sharp, dangerous high speed tools. Drug use = slow responses and impaired judgment. (I should know). End result - amputations, break-your-back workers comp awards and ultra-high health care premiums. If I was your friend I wouldn't be hiring stoners either.
Or they spend all of their time building bongs.
Many smoke pot to relax off-hours - just as many others drink beer to relax off-hours. Tests are an invasion of privacy irrelevent to job performance. Call former employers instead and stop giving money to labs for piss tests.
Stupid drugs!
Bullshit. Where is this phantom shop?
Just in: "To correct the employment problem in Chicago, I recommend another tax hike of 67%" - Gov. Quinn
Nobody denies we've had job openings every day in this country, even during the worst of economic times. For every job opening today, it just means someone hasn't yet accepted the pay cut, crawled on hands and knees for peanuts, and gave the final blowjob boefore the job offer comes.
What a great reading comprehension quiz.
Yea I don't know what the unemployed are complaining about, there are plenty of unpaid internships to go around. You get to build your skills as you do a job for free that you used to get paid for. Unemployment could be 0 if people stopped asking to be paid
90% unemployment? Sounds like that community needs some organizing!
Newt is on his way to talk to the NAACP there I bet
Chicago needs more 12 year old janitors.
I understand Tylers frustration here. In case you missed it- Mentioning it's a Freudian slip, is a clue- then the boxed words is another clue.
We need an educated, and observant public to notice these things... I'd like to think everyone 'gets it' but just isn't commenting that 10% employment (is 90% unemployment.)
These sort of gloss over typo's are indeed Freudian slips. We should be ever vigilant to notice the doublespeak, and general incompetence- out there, as well as point it out -whenever possible-, and point it out -wherever COMICAL-.
Thank you Tyler!
Poor Tyler, he used to think his readership was like Yogi, "smarter than the average bear."
They were.....for the first 4-5 months the site was up....then....
There's alot of sharp people on this site.
So well highlighted TD that I'm surprised you've had to intervene so many times. The red box was a bit of a giveaway.
Yes, it would be nice if they taught grammar, spelling and punctuation in journalism school, instead of teaching socialism.
Also, I lament the average discourse (and apparent reading comprehension) of the average ZHer. Quite a decline in just a year or so...
Hey math that is about right .. The world is filled with Chiacgo style political, social and economic thugs.. This begs the question is thugary is work ? They forgot the billion dollar DNC/RNC re-election line of participation rate (64.0 percent) and the employment- population ratio (58.5 percent) ....
Freudian Slip my A$$
rncPARTICIPATION RATE (64.0 percent) and the employment- population ratio (58.5 percent)
It's an interesting article. To see it in its entirety see:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/ct-perspec-0122-colleges-2012...
IMHO it's all about entitlement. The entitled parents pass on the sense of entitlement to their children. Work ethic is almost non-existent among so many.
Here in NH is Ruger Corporation, a company who makes fine guns. They are in desperate need for workers, so much so that in my town, where I live almost an hour away, they will pick up (in a bus) the workers, drive them to work, and return them at the end of the day AND pay them the same hourly wage for the two hours ride.
I noticed at the Department of Employment Security that these jobs went begging so I asked about them. I was told "there are about 70 positions but they remain unfilled because the bus picks them up at 4AM, and nobody wants to get up that early."
Ironically, at age 13, I used to get up to meet the bus at 0400 to pick tobacco in Connecticut and I just loved having that job. I cannot imagine what will happen to these slackers when the brown stuff his the fan next year. Eventually the dollar will drop, wages will slip, prices will rise, and eventually, as sure as the sun rises in the East, entitlment funding will shrink exponentially.
Sounds to me like they have to run the bus because they won't pay them enough, despite your rant to afford transpo.
If they need some workers let me know and I will find some for them.
Another case of a company crying about what they can't do.
P.S.
You realize anyone left at the paper must have an IQ around your age of 13 as anyone else has left long ago.
There is more disinfo in the papers of all stripes than your post and that's piling TSHTF pretty high.
They need 70+, Sturm, Ruger and Co; Newport, NH. I'm sure they will appreciate your help.
"You realize anyone left at the paper must have an IQ around your age of 13 as anyone else has left long ago."
Huh? Care to clarify that...it's in a language foreign to me.
After the Great Implosion™, I'm pretty sure that Ruger will be swamped with orders for their products...
Unfortunately, reading many of these comments has become a waste of time. I commend Tyler for putting up with the clowns, idiots, and dis-info agents.
the voices may not be reading the comments and in any case, they wouldn't demand such a high standard lest your gems be quashed.
The article is not a typo, it's an omission. They forgot to use the seasonally adjusted figures.

Living here in SW Florida since 2009 I can probably count on one hand the number of interviews I have had in my job search as the economy here is not nearly that of Silicon Valley CA where we re-located from. Last year I did a job search in the DC area just to see what could be done. I lined up three interviews for sales and /or management related positions with two job offers after. (the offers were to low as one needs at least a 70k salary to offset cost of living) Not that I would want to live in that area but I could see a substantial job market there from the obvious expansion of public sector positions. Positions that should be supported by revenue from private sector growth rather than increased debt.
Go figure...
Disney Orlando and area hotels are hiring thanks to their high turn over rate. Wander if $ 7.59 an hour has something to do with it.
My Aunt inlaw lives in Chicago. She loves it. Shes been living there for 47 years. Whats the deal here? Anyone that talks shit about her ol' Chicago will have to deal with her personaly. God bless her.
Well, that all implies a few things:
1. She's a Democrat
2. She owns no firearms
3. She doesn't mind high taxes
4. She doesn't mind living in a really corrupt police state
Aside from that, the lake is nice.
For me it's not the math or the slip, but the claim to knowing how many "job openings" there are, let alone the quality of such. Heck, even Twitter's not able to accurately aggregate political comentary to make assumptions on who'll win an election. No way I'm beliving these donks.
haskelslocal, well said, well said, good citizen!
I've seen several jobs in farfetched categories which exemplify much of those fictitious jobs being advertised:
(1) They required an expert in networking (and I do mean computer networking) who was also a highly experienced facilities management guy (as in HVAC) --- and no, I'm not joking!
(2) Another mirage-type job I've seen frequently:
They wanted a highly experineced software developed who was equally experienced at printed circuit board manufacturing! (as in the hands-on manufacturing, not the coding....)
You be the judge as to whether this BS really exists?
