We could lose 2 million jobs next month and the unemployment rate would be unchanged at 9.6%.

The last guy working is going to be the person that puts out the press release saying the unemployment rate is 9.6%.
Its nice to know Baghdad Bob still has a job in the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“We could lose 2 million jobs next month and the unemployment rate would be unchanged at 9.6%.”
That’s what I was thinking. I wonder who at Gallup has a bone to pick. Their report was kind of belligerent...(i.e. the govt will probably underestimate, etc).
I loved it tho!

We did lose 1.8 million jobs last month and the rate didn’t budge.
New weekly unemployment claims have been reported weekly as 450,000 and change for months. That is a rate approaching 2 million actual, that is real, lost jobs per month.

When democrats/Marxists can no longer be hurt, after the election on Nov 2,unexpectedly the unemployment rate will be above 10%.
Democrats/socialists are surely destroying the economy.
Real unemployment above 20%.
