Then don't you need a precise integer to show just how badly Obama has been under-stating the problem? Using the 95 million figure just gets you laughed at. Trump needs to have his people come up with the accurate figure, a simple explanation on how it was arrived at, and then he can hammer away at Obama's alleged job creation and show it is all smoke and mirrors.
The point is that Trump is going to be more honest and he’s going to let people know that a lot of folks have given up on looking for work and they have become statistically invisible.
Claiming 95 million people are looking for work is not being honest. It's giving the media more ammunition to shoot at you with. He needs an accurate figure that shows how wrong the current unemployment figure is and what the magnitude of the problem is. Shooting from the hip and throwing out bogus figures may have been fine for the campaign but he's in a different league now. He's about to become president.
Totally disagree. As another poster has said, EVERYONE is looking for work. Unless they are rich and retired. I’m gainfully employed and my salary is decent. I regularly search on-line for a better job.
Trump said people are looking for a job they can’t get. Accept that as a true statement. If our economy were stronger, taxes lower, regulations reduced, fewer companies moving to Mexico, fewer illegal immigrants holding jobs in the US — if all of that started to get fixed MANY Americans would find jobs that they liked better than their current job.
Claiming 95 million people are looking for work is honest. It’s actually an understatement since EVERYONE is looking for work.
