This just means that a hell of a lot of people gave up on looking for work. It’s pretty obvious.

why do they not count those with no jobs who have no unemployment, I bet if Bush was in the biased corrupted media would mention it.

I was thinking the same thing. There is no earthly way that you can have only 36,000 new jobs and have the unemployment rate fall to 9.0 percent. The less people in the pool seeking work, the better the unemployment numbers seem.

Question: Do those who are no longer eligible for unemployment benefits or seeking assistance get figured into the unemployment number?

It’s also because many claims are done; 99 weeks are up, I know of many whose claims have run out. The extension funding was to finish out the 99 weeks apparently, not extend the 99 weeks.

Hard to look for invisible jobs also...

My husband FINALLY got called back to work yesterday after a year and a half. Praying it’s a long job, not just a couple of weeks.
