Job Losses: More of the Same in October

Back to blog

Funny thing about averages

They run the gamut from both extremes. That's how they become averages.

So if the same jogs that were lost in September are lost all over again in October, is an average out of work person still out of work?

Or did the tree fall in the forest when he/she wasn't working?

Average statistics mean that somebody got a really good job while somebody else lost a job, so they average out to nothing in the middle.

Have an average day folks!
