How Jobless are you?

I know this question seems sort of obvious - you're probably either 0% jobless or 100% jobless - but think about it. We've been hearing about the Boomers, the Lost Generation, the Gen Xers, Women, Executives, College Students. But if you're like most people, you're a tricky combination of various elements and aren't only one of those groups.

Luckily for you, The New York Times thought of that and created this handy little tool to help you determine precisely how jobless YOU are.

Sure, it's not perfect. The age groups are pretty wide for one. And I'm not entirely sure what they mean by jobless. But, it's pretty interesting nonetheless.

I fall into a category that is only 3.6% jobless which, in light of what I know about the rest of the country, feels pretty good. And certainly brings up quite a few conversation points about who is not that lucky.
