This headline is ALSO true when the unemployment rate is 4.5%.

Big Deal.

(1) Republicans tend to be more enterprising overall.
(2) A conservative will find a way to work. They’ll shovel fries to feed their family. Democrats are generally more content to sit on their couch and let a conservative do the work to feed their family.
(3) Republicans tend to be more faithful. God blesses His people (generally speaking — individual results may vary).

Gee do you think that the bosses might’ve scanned the parking lot for Obama bumper stickers? ;)

months ago, I needed to lay off 3 of my 11 employees. Known Obama supporters went first. 2 months later, about 2 months ago, I had to let 2 more go. Both Obamorons. but I’m out of libholes.

Go figure. Whiney liberals are also the biggest complainers in any work situation.

"Data from Rasmussen Reports national telephone surveys shows that 15.0% of Democrats in the workforce are currently unemployed and looking for a job. Among adults not affiliated with either major party, that number is 15.6% while just 9.9% of Republicans are in the same situation."

'Why is this utterly unsurprising to me?'

What percent of these unemployed rats had worthless instant unemployment degrees or had dropped out high school or college after filling their brains with pcism/diversity and a sense of entitlement instead of a work ethic.

The sense of entitlement versus a work ethic drives our younger relatives bonkers as the managers/ supervisors of these 'Entitled ones'.

So many of the independents spend their lives avoiding really looking at what the political parties represent. So they vote for 0b0z0 out of White Guilt and hoping for change. They got the change and little hope. They never listened to the socialism and redistribution of their wealth that 0b0z0 was promising his diversity driven voters.

The Democrats/liberals I know are more likely to exhaust their unemployment benefits before even attempting to find work.

The Conservatives I know immediately seek employment before even attempting to file for unemployment.

Those Democrats should go back and finish grade school, then they might have a shot at working flipping burgers.

Another factor is the rapid unemployment of city, county and state employees. Many states are at the edge of the bankruptcy precipice, and they have been slicing off the newer union thugs working for them.

The State Worker: Budget forecast shows things could go from bad to worse
SacBee: State Worker ^ | 11/19/9 | Jon Ortiz

Posted on Thursday, November 19, 2009 7:45:19 AM by SmithL

More grim news Wednesday for state workers: California’s general fund faces a $21 billion deficit through the middle of 2011. The red ink could flow for years to come, according to a forecast by the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office.

The state’s 200,000 or so workers, already taking a 15 percent pay hit from three furlough days per month, knew this was coming. What does the state’s rotten financial picture mean to them?

• Real job cuts. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger already has ordered 7,000 jobs eliminated from the deficit-ridden general fund. And as this column reported a few months ago, the administration has run scenarios cutting another 5,000.

Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Rachel Arrezola said Wednesday that it’s “likely” that the governor will look at employee compensation expenses as part of a wide range of cuts for the 2010-11 budget.

• Fewer transfer options. In the past, a state worker facing layoff could figure on sliding into an open position safe from budget whacking. But the state’s finances have been so bad for so long that many departments swept out their vacant slots and have tightened hiring.

You can be CERTAIN that this statistical fact will become the reason for more hatred from the left, as they contemplate the maddening UNFAIRNESS of it all.

>> Democrats & Unaffiliateds More Likely To Be Unemployed Than Republicans

This is a lousy headline. “Dems & Unaff more likely than Republicans to be unemployed” makes sense ... ‘more likely to be unemployed than (to be) Republicans’ is probably not what they intended to say.

I have a friend who is looking for a job. Among his many skills is that he is an expert on environmental regulation. I was working on his resume and told him “we have to figure out a subtle way to indicate on this resume that you a conservative without you coming out and saying it.”

Our concern is that no company is going to want to hire some environmental nut who spends his time bugging everyone about whether they are recycling. On the other hand, lots of companies need someone competent who can lead them through the maze of environmental regulations.
