4.8 percent they are whining about 4.8 percent (Score 1)

Did you know that 4 percent is the zero point; it is the point where you are considered to have no unemployment in a field. This is because economist have realized what apparently IEEE does not. That is, with people transiting jobs, lazy people, and untalented people alone you will have a constant 4 percent or greater unemployment rate in any field, and this assumes that the economy is doing well. So that means that in the first quarter or "Only a few months ago guys" engineers pretty much had zero unemployment. Now they have a little tiny bit, and they think the federal government should begin making laws to fix this terrible atrocity for them. This is how our country loses its focus. Check your skills again fellas and I don't mean in C++, I mean against your local job market. Then get hot fixing your own problems, not asking the government to fix them. America is a capitalist society and I love that, that is why I am glad to know that they cannot stop companies that find better, cheaper, or just choose to find people outside this country for labor. This country is founded on making a profit whether we like it or not, and we always do if we are the ones making it. If you are a truly talented engineer and you are starving in an economy with 5.3 % unemployment, then you need to take a long look at what is missing.
