The "percentages" are the number of people our government pays an unemployment check to every week. Not the number of people that are actually unemployed. Just because the number of people that are receiving a check has fallen it does not mean the number of people that are unemployed has gone down. It simply means that those that have been on unemployment the longest are now falling off the ledgers because they have reached the end of the period of time they are allowed to receive benefits.
On a side note. I find it odd that no one ever mentions the tens of thousands of self employed people that are out of work. I'm talking about all the small businessmen and women that are the backbone of American business. Those people that hire 2, 3, 4 or 5 people at most but that are now out of work themselves. Those people are not eligible for unemployment benefits even though they too are out of work. They are also NOT HIRING.
This country is sooooooo screwed and if something's not done to legally remove the illegal alien from the White House's Oval Office not only is the United States screwed but so too is the rest of the world.
Where are our military officers? Do any of you remember the "OATH" you took?
I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.Shameful at best if not treasonous to do nothing.
JMHO
If it matters to anyone I do apologize for the errors.

I share shop space and land with six other small businesses. We have been together for years in this communal relationship. We are all the typical small business types. 3-4 employees, self employed, ineligible for unemployment.
This winter, so far, THREE of the companies have folded.
They don’t show up on any unemployment statistics anywhere.
