Seems like I would have heard of someone who was asked just once. I dont think their sample is very large, nor accurate

By design, ofcouse.

This method of rigging the unemployment figures was brought to you by the Clinton administration. They used it, along with their special accounting "methods", to show a booming economy even when the job market/stock market started to slide. They are to blame for this whole damn mess, and if they hadn't been in office, my brother-in-law would still have a job.

Oh yeah, he's been unemployed for two and a half years - IT, UNIX systems security - and he's taken $9.00/hour construction jobs to try and get by since he too is "over qualified" (over 40 with a large family). But since his unemployment benefits ran out, he doesn't show up on the Labor Dept. radar, either...
