Unemployment

Two guys who worked together were both laid off, so off they went to the unemployment office.

  Asked his occupation, the first guy said, "Panty stitcher. I sew the elastic onto cotton panties."
  The clerk looked up pantystitcher. Finding it classed as unskilled labour, she gave him $300 a week unemployment pay.

  The second guy was asked his occupation. "Diesel fitter," he replied.
  Since diesel fitters was a skilled job, the clerk gave the second guy $600 a week.

  When the first guy found out, he was furious. He stormed back in to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay.

  The clerk explained: Panty stichers were unskilled and diesel fitters skilled labour.

  "What skill?" yelled the panty stitcher. "I sew the elastic on.
  He pulls on it and says, 'yep, diesel fitter'. "
