That is not 5%.

U6 unemployment is falling fastest of all.

You need a fresh conspiracy theory, that one is no longer helping your tendentious case that we are in a depression.

Maybe it no longer matters that US government economic statistics have the same credibility as Venezuela’s. Until the dollar loses its status as the world’s reserve currency and the Treasury Department startss begging other countries to buy our bonds and those other countries say: “Maybe we can trust you again - in about fifty years.”

True, U6 is almost back to pre-crash levels.

But Labor Participation Rate has a ways to go yet.

ABout 300 million in America.
About 100 million no jobs.

100million divided by 300 million = 5%

Trust us.

Washington certainly is math-challenged.

Over 250,000 NEW unemployment claims filed every week-—adds up to over 1 million a month.

211,000 new jobs & the unemployment rate never budges.

It will be very interesting how these figures get corrected when Trump & his math-savvy advisers get into office.

I know where there is an immediate job opening for a restaurant health inspector. Pays about $70,000 annually with good benefits.

As a life long bookkeeper, if I had even given a client such calculations, I would have tarred & feathered.

RE: I know where there is an immediate job opening for a restaurant health inspector.

One of the most HATED professions in NYC. Ask any restaurant or bagel shop out there and they’ll tell you how these arrogant SOB’s harass them, looking for the most minute issues to make it tough doing business.

Here’s just one example:

http://nypost.com/2012/05/07/health-inspectors-slap-bklyn-bagel-shop-with-fines-over-sesame-and-poppy-seeds/

Health inspectors slap Brooklyn bagel shop with fines over sesame and poppy seeds

EXCERPT:

A Health Department inspector bizarrely slapped a Brooklyn bagel shop with $1,650 in fines — because sesame and poppy seeds fell to the floor while the bagels were being made during working hours.

The owner of B&B Empire Bagel Cafe — who appealed the violations and lost at two separate hearings — says the inspectors must have holes in their heads.

How is he supposed to make seeded bagels without some of the tiny goods spilling onto the ground?

“It is impossible to clean up after each and every bagel,” declared Alex Gormakh, 59, who manages the Clinton Sreet. shop. “It is impossible. It is a process.”

To demonstrate, Gormakh placed two poppy and sesame bagels on a table near his $60,000 wood-burning oven, where they are baked “Montreal style” — smaller and chewier than their New York cousins.

“Look,” explained Gormakh, “a few seeds are always going to be dropped when you are dipping the bagel in the seeds. They don’t all stick like glue.”

“Now imagine the seeds from 100 bagels. Any place where bagels are produced will have these problems.”

Still, city regulators were unsympathetic.
