This should be pounded right thru the thick skulls of stupid, ‘low information’ public school graduates...23% unemployment rate...counting people who do NOT collect unemployment benefits...counting those who have given upon finding work.
ANNNND...NOT counting those who have graduated and can’t find jobs. With those added and those who ran out of unemployment comp and were placed on SSDI, I still contend the REAL unemployment statistics are over 30%.
And for those who have used up all of their unemployment benefits, rolling them over to disability (massive numbers last year), so that they continue not to be counted.
The unemployment rate for those “low information” voters is even higher. I’m surprised they can’t see it.
It’s ironic that the group who experiences one unseasonably warm day and then gets hysterical about global warming is the same group that can know dozens of unemployed friends and family members, but dismiss that as irrelevant and not think there is anything wrong with the economy or with government employment figures.
