That's an interesting claim.
I have yet to see a graph on unemployment that takes into accout those who have dropped out of the job search.
Can you provide that information ?
What? and show the 3 million net missing form the equation.
Ive been away from these boards for awhile because I generally logged-in only while at work (and I got laid off in September).
So, speaking as someone who lost their job during Obamas recovery, I think this particular (lack of) measurement is his ace in the hole.
I say this because, during my indoctrination at the unemployment office, I was told I would not qualify for any federal unemployment extensions because they all expire on December 31.
Of course, this means all the unemployed who have been on these extensions for the past two years will drop off the radar screen at the end of the year. And, even though they are still unemployed, they will no longer be counted as such.
I think this is pretty good timing for Obama.
Best of luck in your job search.
