and something that's not brought up on the talking heads shows...
People don't understand how the unemployment index works but you've
pointed out THE major issue.
Now, couple that with the fact that millions of Americans, which
hold degrees and have high level of working experience, are now
effectively UNDERemployed. They're working jobs that are so alien
to their learned and educated professions its not even funny....yet
the government believes that they're "employed" and count them
as a "positive" number.
Never mind that these people are making HALF of what they used to
make. Never mind that they have lost their entire life savings while
they searched for a new job. Oh no...let's cheer the "great news"
of 112K retail and other non-professional services jobs....
