A Bunch of Zeros

January 26, 2012 in Homepage, Recent News by Rick Sloan

Dear UCubed Leader:

ZERO is how many times the words “jobless” or “unemployed” were used in the 2012 State of the Union Speech. ZERO is the number of times those words were used in the 2011 State of the Union Speech.

So how many voters will turn out from “unemployed” households in November, households where someone has been “jobless” in the last three years? The answer is:

40,000,000

Put so graphically, a bunch of zeros becomes impossible to ignore. They represent the kinetic power of the “jobless” and the “unemployed” as they and their family members prepare to go vote.

In Unity – Strength,
Rick
