DeKalb County unemployment tops 10 percent | Daily Chronicle

"10.6 percent on unemployment, how many more are out of work and their benefits have run out? How many more are working part time just to try and get by? How many are working at a lesser job because it is all they can find? A person who used to make 15 per hour, got laid off and is now making 9 is employed, but I would argue they count. So what percentage are we at? I would put it at 18-20%. We are in trouble because 9 dollar per hour jobs do nothing. We need higher paying jobs
