And the lawyers many of those 230,000 will use to get on a lifetime supply of SSI money are laughing all the way to the bank.

Of note from the article:

most of that improvement is because discouraged workers have stopped looking for jobs.

Add in these 230K and the "unemployment rate" will likely drop below 8%. As I recall the actual rate is somewhere around 11%.

In the madness of current methods of calculating unemployment percentage, the stats will improve marginally!
