I've seen earlier recessions with spikes in unemployment towards/above "double digits".
But this one is much different - earlier recessions seemed more "blue collar concentrated" back in 70's and 80's -- in fact, I suspect white collar jobs grew through those periods.
This time, all the people I know who are laid off are white collar professional folks. This seems like the "college educated recession".
Anybody else see this ? Any statistics ?
Maybe there's no more blue collar folks to lay off.....
