    I think they get numbers from those collecting unemployment so it could be much worse.

    But wait the trucking schools are hiring, no I mean looking for gullible students and their cash because you know trucking has those high paying jobs right now.

    This is all occupations but gives you an idea of how much greater the numbers can be. That's about 16% compared to the 9% which is being reported.

    You're right, it's just about double for all occupations, and probably more for trucking.

    Let's spend more tax payer money.....WIA type programs, are paying for un-qualified US citizens, to train at CDL school's.
    "I got 10 DWI, four misdemeanors, and a dope charge.....BUT, I can get trained for free, and never see a truck?"
    Maybe, the States need to get there own "Pre-hire" formula...Before they give out this money?
    ......Let alone training for a NON existent job !
