Even though they continually adjust the numbers higher we must finally be running out of people to lay off!!

Improvements are good.
Biggest reason it dropped that much, though, was 1.2M people left the work force.
Participation rate down to 63%, I think.

Yeah. The top level US 'unemployment' rate is one of the biggest scams ever.
I'm really not sure why we even use it any more. When you tune into most financial networks now, they basically laugh at it.

Govt produces several different unemployment numbers. The broadest one picks up alot of the unemployed but not actively searching.....this measure also shows steady improvement from the depths of 2009 & 2010.
Having multiple measurements gives a better picture of the overall situation. Although it tends to confuse and frustrate the knuckledraggers.

none of which reflect the truth. If we were to count unemployment with the sane formula used in the 30s, 40s, and 50s, it would be 23%.

i give a damn about how unemployment is calculated.
as long as the job growth is good.. then i got some leverage when asking for a raise or finding a new and better job.
sucks for people no longer participating in the job market, but i could care less because i am.

Unemployment is a stat that only has so many uses but it resonates with the public and that is why you see it a lot.

...right up until that flood of millions has held out as long as they can and start throwing themselves at businesses as wage-slaves, dilluting your benefits and creating leverage for employers to freeze your wages for the next decade. (Or, drop you, to hire them part-time at half the cost).

They reflect exactly what they say they do.

Did they count women or minorities in the unemployment numbers in the '30s, '40s, or '50s?
