The Government numbers are wrong on job creation. They are missing emerging business doing the majority of hiring. The reason 309,000 dropped off the roles is because the people who never intended to go back to work, their unemployment benefits ran out. That is why is was stupid for congress to extend the unemployment benefits.
In the 90's many older worker delayed retirement and many women jumped into the workforce to earn quick money. When they got layed off, they collected unemployment- of course, as long as they were "looking" for work. When the congressional extended benefits ran out, they were all of the sudden, not looking for work.
Exactly! Did you notice that when congress extended unemployment benefits they were actually creating an unprecedented artificial increase in unemployment numbers???
