Re: unemployment rate by Dennis L. Blewitt 14 March 2002 18:11 UTC |

What I had in mind was a little more complicated than just factoring in the number of prisoners when calculating unemployment. For instance: Unemployment figures do not count "drop outs" who have given up finding employment. How many released drug offenders are likely to be drop outs? Police, court personnel, etc would become unemployed if drug enforcement were moderated. Prison personnel would be seeking jobs, etc. I suspect the difference in rates is greater than adding 1.4 million to the working population and adjusting the present rate. Is anyone aware of any data or estimates concerning these factors? Dennis L. Blewitt
