Do you have a citation for this? It sounds very high to me, and the most recent info. I could find with the BLS[1] puts that number closer to 11%.

Folks think now somebody has to 'create' a job for them. Used to be, you bought a truck and a sign and some tools, put an ad in the yellow pages, and you had a job.
