Can you tell me what indicates that these reports are a lie?
The fed is using the exact same standard for calculating unemployment now as it did then. During Bush’s recession it was the libs claiming that true unemployment was higher and that his administration was deceiving the public. Everyone likes the agreed upon measure while it is saying the things that they want it to say. They start complaining when it doesn’t support their message.
As posters above said, we could measure workforce participation instead of claimed unemployment, but that isn’t all that useful. Average age in this country is rising steadily, so it should be no surprise to anyone that lower percentages are working even if there wasn’t a recession. The trick is figuring out which is which. Simply asking if people want to work is not the answer either. Ask someone on welfare or extended unemployment if they are looking for work. Of course they will say yes; saying no might jeopardize their government handout!
“Was the Fed lying when Republicans were in charge?”
Sure they were. I don’t think anyone would deny that.
“Can you tell me what indicates that these reports are a lie?”
Can’t you read. The whole article is about that.
Why don’t you start there.
I am referring to the fact that REAL ue is much higher than the 9% that the msm continually feeds to the public. These figures are manipulated by the DOL. I think the shock to Americans if the truth were told would be viseral and career ending for pols.
Dis the past admins do this, ofcourse ,but not to the extent that this criminal Admin has practiced.
Why do you think I want a LAW. Cuts both ways.
I don’t know what world you live in but WE are facing inflation in the most basic of Maslows Ladder. Food, Shelter, energy.
These are basic survival needs. Is this LIE to further frustrate americans? Don’t believe your lying eyes, only what you are fed from the Gov.
