Oops
Over at the Jackson Free Press:
"The June 2009 issue of the "Mississippi Economic Review and Outlook," a monthly report authored by Marianne Hill, senior economist for the Institutions of Higher Learning, says the state's recovery from the current recession will be slow. Hill predicts that it will be 2014 before employment rates are back down to where they were in 2000" (The statement was not Hill's but the JFP's.)
Um, don't you mean unemployment rates?

I am almost positive those at the JFP do not know the difference.
Snort!
I wonder what the intern rates will be like in 2014?
Actually, I said employment will return to 2000 levels by 2014. The recovery from the 2000-01 recession was very slow -- employment was just returning to 2000 levels at the end of 2007 -- and this recovery will be much more difficult. By the way, the Review comes out twice yearly (not monthly) and others also author articles in it. It can be accessed at www.mississippi.edu/URC under Publications. Marianne Hill
I know you did. I read your remarks in the Clarion-Ledger. Since there were no quotation marks around the statement I copied, I assumed (don't anyone say it) everyone would figure out it was the JFP's error, not yours. My apologies to a High Priestess of the Black Arts of the Dismal Science. ;-)
Double snort to the Fondren Bugle.
