[Claudette]

Yup The UE figures go up and down just like Barry's popularity figures.

well considering its gallup it's most like 3 points below the +/- 3 % ... so it's 12 percent minimum.

Still good, haven't the Obama-bashers been saying it's really 15%?

 

[DiamondDave]

Well.. since the government won't include everyone who is really unemployed... who's to know??

If they factor in those who quit looking for work altogether it would be, maybe not that high but around 13% or so.

+/- 0.7 percentage points at 90% confidence. In other words between 8.3% and 9.7%.

Note that it's not comparable to the official number because it is not seasonally adjusted, and there are some methodological differences as well. You can go to Table A-1. Employment status of the civilian population by sex and age for the not seasonally adjusted BLS numbers (error is +/- 0.2 percentage points at 90% confidence)

ummmmmmmmmm .... 9 percent is good? Nope. 8.3 percent is good? Nope.

So that means that 90% of the workforce is gainfully employed.

All things considered, that's not too bad.

actually that would be terrible still if that were the only number there was.. but that's not even the truth. It's much worse.

The Labor Force is defined as Employed + Unemployed, so no, only 90% of everyone trying to work actually working isn't too good.

 

[Leweman]

bad news for reality ... media doesn't care yet. They might someday.

 

[uscitizen]

unemployment is actually about 60% of the total population.
About 40% supports everyone.

That means 90% of your brain ISN'T rotted away by cancer.

Try around 18%

That's just it, isn't it? They don't want us to know the truth. Makes the dumb masses more pliable.

In the link is a chart of poll results going back two years which shows unemployment unchanged since February 2010.

The underemployed figure is also flat for the same period.

25 million jobs created during Clinton's reign, 3 million during Bush's. Damn near zero during Obama.

Somewhere along the way our job creation machine got seriously broken.
