On a TV quiz show recently there was the following question:

Since 1940, what percentage of new jobs in the United States have been created?

Answers to choose from:

2%, 25% or 60%.

I'll leave it for a bit to see who, if anyone, replies.

Mmm, Well having a guess i can't see it being just 2%,25% is only a quarter of the population,which still feels low

i think its gotta be 60% dave

New jobs?  Such as computer jobs as a category?

I'll say 2%.  Most of the other jobs have existed since 1940.

Someone dies or retires?  Is a new job created or is the old job just filled again.

It's kind of a trick question.

Cubby is correct with 60%.

Information technology accounts for around 40% of the increase

Great. But the percentage rate number of unemployed hasn't changed much
