You're right.   The statistics apparently improve when the gov't bean counter quit counting those who deliberately stop looking for work.   The actual unemployment rate is probably 25% - 50% higher than they say.

ONLY for those who're interested, here's the 'Web address for most of my information concerning the economy:

I've always thought history repeats itself because one one wants to look at the past mistakes others have made and honestly realize the mistakes were indeed made.   Too many people want what they don't need or can't have, anyway.   Fear, greed and hate add to the misery.
