I clicked on the site and learned that 1% of unemployed people are working.

Wouldn't that make them employed?

I think they mean doing nixers.

Maybe they own their own business?

Which would make them employed, so no.

No, but they could be and probably are volunteering.

 

[Diego440]

or doing freelance work... it's work, but they're not employed by anyone, and it doesn't count as own business...

 

[Northstar]

No, but they could be and probably are volunteering.

There is a separate section for volunteering.

Drug dealers, prostitutes and pimps would fall into that category too. Judging by the look of downtown though, 1% seems awefully low.

70-ton column is largest installed at WTC tower

NEW YORK — Builders of the tallest office tower under construction at ground zero have set a 70-ton piece of steel into place — the largest column installed yet at the building.

Three more columns are set to go up Thursday, and 24 by the fall at One World Trade Center, also known as the Freedom Tower. The 1,776-foot-tall skyscraper is the largest of five planned to replace the trade center after the 9/11 attacks.

Each steel column — made at a factory in Luxembourg — is about 60 feet long. The columns at the bottom of the tower's foundation are about 35 feet long.

The new columns will bring the building's steel skeleton several stories above street level. The building is set to be finished in 2013.

Construction workers install the first of 24 large steel columns at the core of One World Trade Center August 12, 2009 in New York City. The perimeter columns, which are approximately 60-foot long and 70 tons, will allow the initial floors of the tower to be constructed and are the largest to be used to date on the tower.

oh...and the best new building under construction in the world.
