Does anyone really believe that the unemployment rate is only 5%?

I don't even know why we talk about unemployment rates that make everything look peachy. The real story is the underemployment rate; losing jobs that one could support a family on and replacing them with jobs where one can't.

Under the current system if everyone loses a forty hour a week job at $25. an hour and great benefits and takes a twenty hour a week job at $9.25 an hour with no benefits there is no change in the unemployment rate.
