That's over three times the US unemployment rate, even for the age group of 25-34 years. I'm guessing the reason for that is that many gamers are lazy and/or anti-social. That would limit friends and networking, limiting employment opportunities. Where are you seeing 12.5%? I am seeing 9.86% for not employed and also looking for work, which is closest to how they measure the unemployment rate. The Gamefaqs poll option is quite a bit broader than the unemployment rate, which considers people not to be looking for work if they've become discouraged at not being able to find work and have given up. The U-6 rate, which includes these people and people who would like full-time work but are working part-time because they can't find full-time work, is about double the normally cited unemployment rate, which lines up fairly well with the Gamefaqs number (9% in the US). --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...
