    You don't get unemployment forever and once it expires your not counted anymore and once you drop off the number the government uses gets smaller. All these government numbers are bullshit. They say there is no inflation to fuk all the social security recipients but last time I checked gas was $3.70 a gallon and my energy company just hit me for a $12 monthly increase. Not to mention all food prices are way up as well.

    numbers can be and are easily manipulated.

    there are two inflation numbers...one that includes gasoline and food, one that doesn't.

    guess which one the public gets to hear?

    The basic calculation used to find the unemployment rate is the total amount of people who are out of work but seeking employment, divided by the total amount of people in the labor force. The labor force is defined as anyone who is either currently working at a job, or actively seeking a job. People that do not have jobs (yet are not trying to get one) are not part of the labor force, and are not technically considered unemployed. Often seeking a job within the past month is used as qualification for being considered in the labor force.

    Big corporations have been getting smart the past 3 years by drastically cutting full time jobs. Instead, they hire a ton of part time workers so they gave save millions on health care and paid vacations

    They're should be more jobs soon, just part-time 30 hours max per week.

    there was a great article recently written about this very statistic

    the ONLY number that matters is the ratio of employment to population ratio, WHICH HAS NOT CHANGED IN ALMOST TWO YEARS at 58%

    The only number that matters right now is 47 percent. (Obama's approval rating)
    No sitting president has ever won re-election with an approval rating of under 48 percent.

    Obama came into this with an impossible job. Overall I think he's been good. This country was very close to a total collapse, I don't think many people realize that.
