RE: Real Unemployment NumbersStockcharmer, Bluenote had it correct when he stated that real unemployement/underemployement numbers in the US are about 23%. When you factor out flaws in the way the statistics are gathered, the birth/death model, etc., the numbers could be worse still. On top of that you only have to work 4 hours a week to be considered employed.
Anyhow thanks for your sensible post Stockcharmer. Nice to see one bank board NOT full of pumpers.
TD's illustrious CEO Ed Clarke made 11 million smackers in 2008. Is there anyone here who would like to go on record and state he deserves this absolutely crazy compensation, while WE the shareholders continue to suffer? GLTA
