To: Fresh Wind

during the election... both candidates went on about the 8% unemployment and how 25m people were out of work

we have 132m people filing taxes... at best, that’s 25m / 132m or 19%

the only way you get to 8% is if you use the total population:

25m / 310m == 8.06%

I’m pretty sure kids and the elderly are in that 310m...

just the facts
