How can the "unemployment" stats remain constant when jobs are being elimated? The number of people who have been unemployed so long that they've given up looking (5.8 million) just keeps on growing.
It's almost a question of what unemployed - is.

because they're two sides of the coin - new jobs are created while others are eliminated, in this case the net offset negated each other (but is errantly described as a "plunge" out of apparent bias by the author)
