“Are you both aware that these numbers exclude discouraged workers who have exhausted their unemployment compensation?”

So the government is putting out 4.6% unemployment. but Real unemployment is 20%? that’s a bit of a leap, don’t you think?

I just did a quick search for an article from a source you might respect. This is the first one I found.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/louisefron/2014/08/20/tackling-the-real-unemployment-rate-12-6/#6a6c98291e12

This is an excellent resource on how the books get cooked. It is a subscription site, but I have discovered a lot by reading the free articles.
