Not a rosey environment for PTSD Healing. by Dr. Z http://johnzemler.com/Blog/80000-more-lose-their-jobs-as-unemployment-continues-to-rise-not-a-rosey-environment-for-ptsd-healing#comment-4 Dr. Z Wed, 30 Apr 2008 05:46:02 +0000 http://johnzemler.com/Blog/80000-more-lose-their-jobs-as-unemployment-continues-to-rise-not-a-rosey-environment-for-ptsd-healing#comment-4 Hi Gordy! If they included the under-employed it would be a lot higher. I learned yesterday afternnoon that there are at least 6 different guages of unemployment used by the government. They range from U-1 (lowest rate) to U-6 (the highest rate). Accpording to the interview, the goverment uses U-3. U-3 gives us something in the 4% range. U-6, which includes people who are underemployed, plays out at 10-12%. You're right, the re-enlistment rates are probably higher due to skill untransferability. Many enlist in high school as they see college so dreadfully expensive or a job future flipping burgers as their future. The only civlian" job I know about that desires Soldiers and Marines based on skills are the mercenary groups such as Blackwater. Some choose to get into law enforcement but don't always qualify or they leave because the Rules of Engagement are rather strict compared to Iraq. Semper Pax, John Hi Gordy!
