September's unemployment rate of 4.2 percent marks the 18th month that
it has been at 4.5 percent or below. Unemployment rates for virtually all
groups of workers remain at or near their 30-year lows.
The unemployment rate for college graduates is an amazing 1.6 percent.
That compares to 6.9 percent for high school dropouts, demonstrating once again
that we are in a knowledge-based economy.
That also tells us that we need to continue our efforts to reach out to
those who are not yet benefitting from this economy dislocated workers, at-risk
youth, workers with disabilities. Then we can celebrate their low unemployment
rates, too.
