1 in 10 in SF Unemployed


Well, I guess this explains the crazy amount of people I see at cafes throughout the day, or lounging about in Dolores Park in the middle of the afternoon.

Seriously though, it is difficult to believe that the unemployment rate in San Francisco can be over 10%.  The Chronicle reports today that this is the highest percentage on record. Even harder to believe are the majority of economists who say "the recession is over."

Do you know anyone who is unemployed in the Bay Area? Are they young? College-educated?  Or coming out of retirement, a parent, or a grandparent?  We want to hear your stories about employment.  Write to us at news@kalw.org, or give us a call at 415-264-7106.
