College grad unemployment quiz answer

Last night I asked you to guess the unemployment rate for 25-to-34 year-olds who graduated from a four-year college.  This question first appeared in the Times with four possible choices:  2.4%, 5.8%, 7.6%, or 9.5%.  For high school grads only the figure was 7.4%. 

Many people thought the unemployment rate for college grads was higher than for high school grads only.  Actually for college grads the rate is 2.4%.  If you want a reason to stay in college, there it is.

I can’t let tonight pass without congratulating Hillary Clinton on her victory.  
Way to go, Clinton!  I don’t know how CA will come out, but she’ll end the evening with enough elected delegates to win the nomination without any Superdelegates.


I saw no reason that a number of news organizations announced on the eve of the New Jersey and California primaries that Clinton had already won.  Why do that?  Why tell voters that they might as well stay home?

  1. She is still short of the clinching number and she cannot reach that number before the convention. If you want a Democrat in the white house, then hope that the FBI works quickly to get her out of the race before the convention. She is going to have a very hard time with Trump.

  2. I agree she will have a hard time with Trump. I do believe she has the nomination sewed up. She won the most popular votes, and if the Superdelegates deserted her at this point, that would be completely undemocratic. It time to rally around our nominee, even if you can't stand her.
