So what is the real number?
The precise integer is not the point. The point is that Obama has been lying with statistics for 8 years, showing everyone what a big economic success he has been. Unemployment under 5%? Obama is a genius!!
The point is that Trump is going to be more honest and he’s going to let people know that a lot of folks have given up on looking for work and they have become statistically invisible. And a lot of people are “working” but get by with multiple part-time jobs.
The “real number” shows that the job situation is not as good as we have been told. What is the “real number”? Does it really matter?
I read that AT MINIMUM it's 14-15 million seriously looking but can't find jobs.
Of the 94 mil, many are boomers...retiring in mass daily. Lots haven't looked for work for years with the depressed market and COULD COME BACK INTO THE MARKET, making it worse, but that's likely offset with the retirees.
Then there's those on welfare, who could also be forced back into job seekers, inflating the number closer to the 94 mil. Ditto false disabilities adding a few more million.
Further, immigration reform is certain to scramble the job market even further...surely to open up millions of part-time jobs.
If anyone can figure this out, hats off to them.
