As one can see from the graph the unemployment skyrocketed to a crazy 5.4% by October.

The effects of the 9/11 tragedy took their toll on our hearts and our fellow Americans. We can see how many ways it has affected us but we can only argue so much to see how it has greatly affected the unemployment rate. By October the unemployment rate was

1) Reduction of workers on full benefits (under lifetime employment, seniority-based salary and full retirement package).

Let's now take a look at the most types of workers laid off. Since most of the damage done by 9/11 then we can see that most people who lost their jobs were white-collar employees.

Some have been institutionalized for mild or high depression. Many workers are said to hit rock bottom and get what is know as a REALITY CHECK and get back into their daily lives without slowing down anyone else's. They seem to be the biggest percentage in the numbers of laid off. Most of them have not ad a hard time finding work. But nothing was written in my sources as to which jobs they are doing. A job could mean working at Wendys or it could mean back in an office, again I don't know. T
