Ha Ha - These hundreds of thousands have also never expected a job, looked for a job or would get their arse up and go if you gave them a job.

the death toll certainly doesn't count those that died a slow death long after from depression and it's related maladies.
that number is far greater....

What was the reason for their unemployed status prior to Katrina?

Has anyone ever done a suicide study on this? I bet there was a big spike in suicides amongst the people affected negatively by the storm.

11 years later and hundreds of thousands are still unemployed? I am sure some have a valid reason to be unemployed 11 years after the fact but there is absolutely no reason for hundreds of thousands to be unemployed. The fact is they would be unemployed if no one ever knew of a hurricane Katrina. Those people were also unemployed before.
