True Unemployment number is higher than 9.4%
 

The government and media are reporting that our unemployment rate is at 9.4%. If you look at the US labor department, the REAL number is 15.9% or 16.4 % depending on how you look at it. What it means is we are in DEPRESSION.

Table A-12. Alternative measures of labor underutilization

I have brought this up several times in the past. We actually changed the way we measure unemployment since the recession of the late 70's/early 80's. Now they don't count discouraged or underemployed and still looking.

Very deceiptful.

It's Obama's scam because he wants his dumb sheeps to think that everything is getting better while it's not. You see what happens when you elect obama? You get a different kind of 'result'.

It's really sad to see Obama run this country by deception and lies.

Re: True Unemployment number is higher than 9.4%
 

EXACTLY! Its usually close to double what is reported, use that as a rule of thumb.



NEP,


where have you been living over the laste decade or so. Its like each post you put up here, I wanna come back with the exact same reply "Where have you been?"


is it because there is a democrat in the white house, and you are an opposition american (which is fine with me)....or did you JUST start reading the news in January...I'm curious....

You hadn't seen me much because libbies CENSORED me for a few months.

I have been around but it's the first time I participate in a political forum because I don't like what I'm seeing in this country. I have read news EVERY MORNING FOR YEARS.

When I heard "Yes, we can", i knew the BS was coming and I had to do something about it. It was too good to be true.

Until Obama is out of office and the country is back to a good old day, I will continue exposing Obama's lies and deption and the stupidity of liberals.

I have an obligation to give my children and grandchildren a better future. I don't see how it happens when Obama keeps fcking up the country like this.

Re: True Unemployment number is higher than 9.4%
 

again...just curious...

is what you consider to the the "Good old day" the Bush presidency? Is that what policy/climate you believe that our children and grandchildren should hope to live in?

also....since you seem to be posting here constantly....what got you "CENSORED" from the liberals here? you can be vague, as I don't want you to get censored again...by liberals

Re: True Unemployment number is higher than 9.4%
 

it's funny... this exact topic was brought up last fall, and last winer, ... but the "everything is fine" crowd insisted is was "chicken little" rhetoric... now that the progressive leader has been in office a while, suddenly they recognize the truth about unemployment numbers...

when you're done speculating, we'll be over here acknowledging that it is rooted in energy, not Dem. or Rep. leadership.

Re: True Unemployment number is higher than 9.4%
 

All along it's been stated that unemployment will continue to climb for a few months when the recession ends. There's now some evidence that things are starting to turn around, but there's still a lot to be done. I think by the time Obama's first term is complete, the recovery will be well underway.

I want them to have a good education system. They will have extra money because of a good job. They will enjoy the freedom without worrying what will happen to them. Yes, i want them to be healthy and happy.

I was censored because of the number of my harmless anti-Obama threads LAST YEAR. Before my posts WERE posted, I HAD TO HAVE A MOD'S APPROVAL. In another word, they REVIEWED my posts to see if they WERE 'appropriate'. If it was appropriate, it was posted 1 day late. Otherwise, you would NEVER SEE IT.

The fcking libbies WERE HAPPY TO SEE IT HAPPEN. Do you believe that *****?

For some strange reasons, I tried to post again last month to see if I WAS STILL CENSORED. My freedom of speech was RESTORED. I'm not sure what happened.

If you see me DISAPPEAR AGAIN, you know what happens to me.

Re: True Unemployment number is higher than 9.4%
 

It's NOT BUSH. It's OBAMA. Whenever you don't like what you see about Obama, please DON'T POINT the problem to previous administration. When good things happen, Obama does it. When bad things happens, Bush did it.

You voted for him because you thought that he would be better than Bush. Agree? As it turns out, he is worser than Bush.

If you want to blame, please blame on your stupidity because you were INTO his BS changes too much.
