sandman 13 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t15.htm Sheds some light on a President trying to get the U-3 number under 8.0% before November 6th. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I've said it often, but the "unemployment" percentage is the worst kind of statistic: something that doesn't measure what it's intended to measure. True unemployment is anywhere from 1.5x to 3x what the manufactured percentage is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavsgrad 28 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 The trouble is that most news stations won't report the reality. The liberal media got all excited a few weeks ago when unemployment dropped to 8.1%. They never talk about how many people have just given up on looking for work nor do they point out that number of people in our work force is at it lowest number in over 30 years.
