It’s about time that we reject the administration’s calculation of unemployment rate.The 8+% number is cited so much by Democans & Republicrats that it has become gospel.

So long as the calculations are based on a false premise, it is just another meaningless number. Call them out on the REAL unemployment number.

Absolutely!
Problem I have is that there are so many different numbers to choose from

Old standard of calculation - the different (U) classifications - factoring and applying the shrinking work force.....
there's a ton of different ways to say that the Administrations way of figuring it is wrong - but in doing so 'we all" use different ways to say it's higher....

"We all" need to be on the same page, question is....what figure can we ALL agree to use when saying Ø's numbers are Bogus?
