Blue collar U.S. males lose more ground
Let's see if the weepy lefties have any compassion left over for this long-suffering demographic:
* U.S. male unemployment rate surges past national average
* Blue collar men take worst hit, wages keep falling
* Construction may recover; many assembly jobs are gone
I'll bet all liberal sympathy's been used up on illegal alien invaders.

This is surprising news. Up here in the Rust Belt, I didn't think there was any ground left to lose...

I think the best thing that we can do when faced with anti-White discrimination is to file a lawsuit. Fight fire with fire. So many minorities will file a lawsuit at the drop of a hat if someone looks at them funny or they do not get a job or if someone says something that "offends" them. The only problem would be finding a sympathetic attorney to represent them during the procedings. One big thing is to stop using the term "reverse discrimination" to define anti-White discrimination.
You bloody Yanks need to do what we did in the grand days of apartheid in South Africa--impose job reservation. The highest-prestige, highest-paying jobs are to be reserved for whites only. Touugh luck for the Kaffirs (which you call Negroes or Nigras) and Coolies (well, I guess Chicanos or Latinos or whatever you call those brown greasy folk from Mexico).
The demand for unskilled and semiskilled labor has been rapidly dropping in the United States for decades, so this news is not a surprise. Also, many blue collar workers have no education beyond a high school diploma, or even less than that. The more education one has, the less likely that person is to be unemployed. In fact, its the single greatest indicator.
The reasons are many, but the basic fact is that employers have the luxury of hiring overqualified employees these days. College graduates are filling jobs that normally would be filled by those with only a high school diploma.
Liberals' sympathy has been spent on rich homosexuals.
The only thing about college is that kids get in there and get indoctrinated against Christianity and everything that they have been taught as children. This is not just in the classes like Women's Studies, Sociology and the like it is also in classes that kids with Engineering degrees need to take for a degree. I have 50,000 in student loans that I have no way to pay back since I am not working in my degree field. College in a four year private or state university is highly over rated. A person can get a certificate at a 2 year community college and get as high paying a job than if he or she wasted time at a university. A really smart person told me that the best degree that someone can work toward is something with a job title in the degree-- for example "Accounting" "Education" or "Nursing".If a person wants to go to law or medical school they can take the appropriate undergraduate classes to gain acceptance. The vast majority of high school graduates would be far better served getting a certification in some subject rather than waste 2 years getting drunk and then owing money for nothing.
Hey Mr. Botha: things getting dull, are they, over at the Hatewatch blog?
Lost--while your point that degrees with job titles in them tend to lead to better, higher-paying jobs, look at any economic survey. College graduates as a whole make more than those with only some college, who make more than those with only a high school diploma.
Some associate degree/certificate programs do offer good money, but you have to pay your dues--just like in any job. For example, to become a skilled tradesman, one generally serves an apprenticeship of 3 to 6 years.
Regardless of which path you choose, you have to pay your dues. Too many people feel like they are entitled to a good paying job straight out of school. All one is "entitled" too is a chance to prove that he/she/it is a good, hard worker. As for me, I have a graduate degree. And today I earn over three times as much as I did, and with much better benefits, than when I first entered the workforce in the mid-90's. But I have put in my share of weekends in the office and late nights, and continue to do so.
