I doubt the 5% unemployed consider it full employment. And unemployment varies by state, as does the economy.

I don't think we can attribute unemployment/employment to one person.

Yes, that is true. It is also true that economists consider 5% to 5-1/2% national average unemployment to be full employment. Check it out.

I don't doubt your assertion. But the economists have jobs. They have a different perspective, I'm sure. The (point of) view is different with a different life situation.

Which is basically what you and Jefferson are advocating for evacuees - a different life situation. And that's fine. My thought is that encouragement works better than criticism.

I agree encouragement works better than criticism. It is also true there are people who will not work.

And they're PAYING FOR THEIR HOMES THEMSELVES. They are NOT panhandling.

Can you see a little "teensy" difference there?
