Carroll Gardens Residents More Unemployed Than Those in Coney Island?

Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill are apparently doing worse than Coney Island and Sunset Park when it comes to unemployment data. From the Times City Room Blog, via the Village Voice:

"Predictably, realtor-friendly districts in north (Williamsburg) an southwest (Sunset Park) Brooklyn are doing better than Crown Heights and Brownsville. It's a small surprise that Coney Island and Canarsie are more in the middle, at 9 percent -- lower than Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens! Maybe formerly productive citizens in the latter districts have taken to living off rents.

Unofficial unemployment, of course, is probably much higher all around."
