from the Bureau of Labor Statistics

There were 3.4 million job openings on the last business day of September, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.



Both the number of unemployed persons (13.9 million) and the
unemployment rate (9.0 percent) changed little over the month.

,,THATS ADVERTISED OPENINGS, so do the math

3.4/13.9

one advertisted job for every FOUR unemployed persons

that means 3/4 of those unemployed will have to find work through the 'networks' (Word of mouth) they are a part of, if they are fortunate enough to be a part of such a network


,,more evidence that its more about WHO you know than what you know,,,
