An interesting article about Kazuo Ishiguro in the New York Times.

He’s thinking about what the future looks like.   A lot of people adrift.

I am so frustrated that most news sources. Only talk about Unemployment. No one ever  shows other stats though. How often are people underemployed that is have a job but it doesn't give them enough money to actually help with anything. And where's the discussion about how likely people are to get work in the first place?
When I googled this the answers were reely dismal and scaring Statistica sugged only 60% had actual work and  that of that it was 6 of 100 applicants meaning hundreds of people per a job offer..for min wage jobs and god only knows how many more underemployed people.
