Tennessee Unemployment Hits 10.7%

The unemployment rate for the American state of Tennessee reached its highest point in 26 years. What do you think?

Young Man

John Smith,
Shop Keep
"I could sure use some small, inexpensive, imported toys to cheer myself up."

Old Woman

Edith Jones,
Industrious Laborer
"High unemployment was understandable in 1983, as it was the Year of the Pig. But this is the Year of the Ox, a very robust creature, so there is no other explanation than Tennessee citizens’ shameful laziness."

Old Man

Paul Harris,
Unjust Emissions Retrofitter
"Tennessee is the land of Elvis Presley and therefore will never be brought low by unemployment. Long live the American King!"
