I'll answer my own THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: JULY 2005 Nonfarm employment grew by 207,000 in July, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 5.0 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Depart- ment of Labor reported today. Over the month, payroll employment rose in many service-providing industries. question>

And that is considered to be effectively zero.

Please read my posts before responding. I said that the economy was strong enough to withstand socialist shocks.

And unemployment isn't 5%. Heaven only knows what the true figure is. After considering that the published figure only involves those receiving unemployment, after adjustments for season and region, the official percent is obviously a lie.
