The reason I posted this is actually not to debate the author, who is partially right, but understates the "unemployed" and "underemployed" because like most liberals, they don't care that folks have left the denominator...those who've stopped looking for jobs. Nope. I'm intrigued and HOPEFUL by the comment log below it...they're all folks who get it! Yahoo Finance isn't some conservative site, nor is the NY Slimes...yet all the comments are sounding Tea Party-ish. That is great!

“those who’ve stopped looking for jobs.”
Well, if they aren’t looking, they should not be counted. We don’t count dead people either. :)

As much as I enjoy FR, most of us are of a like mind here. I enjoy seeing non conservative outlets begin to criticize their messiah.

If we don’t get our act together fast it will be worse, and we will be lucky to live thru it.

How do you write any story on economics/finances with government statistics that total fabrications? Simply tell me how....
