Two Tiered Society

Irene and I have often commented on how we do not have many (if any) friends who are out of work because of the recession.  However, I now realize that all of our friends are college educated and the jobless rates is a two tiered statistic:
College educated unemployment is 4.4 percent
High school degree only is 8.8 percent (high school dropouts are at 13.2 percent!)

Yet another example of how society is losing the middle and bifurcating into the haves and the have-nots.
