Your story about Paychex says "It's hard to make money on payroll services when everybody's out of a job."

Since when is "everybody out of a job"?

Somewhere around 90% of Americans are working. I wish it was 100%, but saying "everybody is out of a job" contributes to the media's sensationalistic coverage of the economy as a sky-is-falling, never-happened-before phenomenon.
