> So you're saying unemployment is higher?

Also underemployment: there are a lot of people working part time who would like to be working full time.

My main point, though, is that there is no shortage of leisure time, and that can't be a reason for Radio Shack's decline. How could there not be enough leisure time when the average American over 18 still watches 5 hours of TV a day? [0] Maybe unemployed people can't afford to shop at Radio Shack, but that's not the argument being made in the article.
