Sorry, listening to Rush use an example to talk about how gov calculates unemployment rate.

Made example saying 5 people have jobs and there are 20 jobs total. Says that leaves 80 percent of jobs not filled. But that leaves 75 percent of jobs not filled.

Posting in realtime, won’t do that anymore!

20 plus the government person doing the counting = 21 rounded off about 75%.
