Thread: Help with a "Math" problem please!

MSMedia is saying that illegal immigration is "Not" the number one issue in this country, they say it's the "Economy and Jobs" Here's my math problem 14 million unemployed Americans, minus 8 million illegals holding those American jobs, what would the unemployment rate be if Americans held those 8 million jobs? Say at 9% unemployment?

In my defense, I suck at math, but I am a most excellent roofer!

Sounds to me like you nailed it!!!

I suck at the math too, but I do understand that with illegal aliens out of our great country. Mornings would be much better for all of us! And...........

This calculator isn't helping either! Don't seem to be asking it the right question!

Guess I'll ask Mr. Wizard

Well it's nice to see I'm not the only one who really sucks at math!

That was awesome. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could have that world back.

"Fuzzy math" that's why I'm using they're numbers not ours, I'm still waiting for the "Wiz" he'll know.

I'm thinking around 3.5% 14 million makes 9%, 8 million is over half of 14 half would be 4.5 so what around 4% where it was before the illegal immigration of our entire Nation!
