5% unemployment, 4% economic growth, continued strong growth in personal income, the best economy and wealthiest people in the world. People from other countries willing to risk death to come here to clean our toilets.

The horror . . . . How did we come to this???

It is mildy amusing that some people get their panties in such a twist when we have a 5% unemployment rate.

5% unemployment

The U6 portion of the BLS employment situation summary puts unemployment at 9%. It is also interesting to note that people working in a family business but earning no money are counted as employed in the household survey, even if their hours are minimal.
