Probably because it feels like Great Depression 2.0

All I see at the super markets are EBT, Social Security recipients, and unemployment checks. Someone tell me I am wrong.

When every family has someone who is unemployed, they don’t believe the lying government.

The 'official' rate isn't the 'actual' rate, like the author assumes.

You see...here’s the problem, those number crunchers have cooked the books so often for their masters and overlords no one believes anything they say.
There’s a massive credibility issue in studies like this.

Because the Unemployment Rate is pure BS and always has been.

I would say here it is around 25%.

What is the “Underemployment” rate?

Yes it does. Makes me wonder what the numbers would be if the feds did not cook the books.

Unemployment rates are more than twice the number put out by the feds. Same for inflation.
The books are being cooked in Washington.

Another side of the coin would be salary increases. A lot of people do have jobs -- and feel fortunate to have those jobs -- but have not seen any sort of raise in years.
When jobs are scarce, salaries rise. How much has your salary been rising?

We are in a depression. The reason why the government started adding “transfer payments” (welfare and other gov’t giveaways) and other “newly conceived” items into the GDP calculations was to prevent the GDP from going negative. If you adjusted their figures to back out the newly created items the GDP would be negative for the last year and reflect the Depression.

More people out of work than anytime in history. And as a percentage it must be approaching 1930’s level.

Probably closer to the real number than the B.S. the feral government puts out.

I’ll bet these “Americans” are closer to the real number than Obama is.

Americans are as bad at identifying the “true” unemployment rate as 6% as they are at identifying Obama’s “true” religion as Christian. It’s almost like they don’t believe the mainstream media any more.
