Interesting graphs and charts department

1) The unlabeled vertical axis: How close are 108.6 and 101.7? The chart appears to separate them by a factor of 5.

2) The welfare recipient count includes all members of the household; the jobholder count only counts the jobholder.

3) There's a lot of overlap. Many jobs don't pay enough to keep you off of welfare, and some types of welfare in fact require you to have a job.

Duplicity is an understatement.

Quote:

Fox's 108.6 million figure for the number of "people on welfare" comes from a Census Bureau's account (Table 2) of participation in means-tested programs, which include "anyone residing in a household in which one or more people received benefits" in the fourth quarter of 2011, thus including individuals who did not themselves receive government benefits.

On the other hand, the "people with a full time job" figure Fox used included only individuals who worked, not individuals residing in a household where at least one person works.

But they are right about one thing, there are too many people eligible for benefits. Congress should be working on getting those people to work, at a living wage, by poking the economy in the ass.

Countries that do not use the metric system.
