When I talked about the chance that a man is laid off, it means that job is a high income job which is suppose to finance the mortgage the house that he bought. If you guys stick to the unemployement rate, that means a fast food restruant job is good enough to support your mortgage?, W4 U% n4 _! U! f! c! b' p7 ~

Unemployment rate is anything but a ture picture of the economic weather. You talk about post 911 unemployement rate was only 10%, did you realize what happened on high tech, finance, executive jobs ? The impact was so huge the the silicion valley was dying after that.6 R3 x$ N6 K4 O8 L" E" b4 W: @/ P3 h2 U

Maybe you are OK to go to work as a busboy in a Chinese resturant earning 15dollars an hour, however, that does not make sense to regard as a decent job to finance your 400-500k house.

As a Chinese, in an engineering company, in a bank, in a business office, your chance is much higher than your white peer to be laid off when economic is not that good. The realistic chance is higher than 50% that you are the first batch of fellows who lost their 100k sallary positions surely becuase you are not one of them.; Z% e' _+ v( ]1 p/ b0 p
