The big news last week was unemployment, which hit its highest rate â?? 7.6 percent â?? since 1992.
I remember 1992 well. That was the year I graduated from the UW-Madison journalism school, entering a tough job market and a profession notorious for low pay. I remember seeing a long list of UW-Madison majors next to their expected annual entry-level salaries.
Journalism was dead last â?? below even philosophy majors.
