We need a British or Canadian newspaper to give us the truth.

The MSM and Obama has been BS us for years.

Trump says the real unemployment rate is like over 20 percent.

Hannity says over 100 million out of the labor force.

We know that at least 20 million illegals are in the country.

We can’t get the Truth. Lies all Lies.

The official Unemployment Rate is defined by the government as anyone who was looking for a job and did not work a single hour in the specified time period.

So, you retire and you don’t count.

Go on disability and you don’t count.

Stop looking for work and you don’t count.

Go to school full time and you don’t count.

This is why VA disability and SSI are easier to get right now that ever before. This is why they encourage kids to stay in college forever (you don’t make student loan payments as long as you stay in school).

The real number to watch is the Labor Participation Rate. It is published but not talked about, except by people like Trump or Hannity. That’s where the 20% unemployed figure comes from. Even the LPR doesn’t include some categories or it would even be higher (the 100M figure).

The state of the working economy is quite bleak and every new illegal alien, H1B, or outsourced job makes it worse.
