    Unemployment rate.

    I was just looking at today's A Fact A Day. This one strikes me as odd:
    The unemployment rate (expanded definition) for South Africans with no schooling is 31%. For those whose with at least some schooling, but no degree or diploma, the rate is 41%. (LFS 2006)
    Now hands up who thought it might have been the other way round?
    Perhaps, more interesting, Why?

    Folks not prepared to take jobs "below their station?"
