"There is more than one "unemployment" calculation. But the one that is reported is the most misleading one."

There are hundreds of different CPI stats each month but I believe the one that is reported excludes food and energy as an example.....

Yes, another good example. And THAT (CPI) one is used to drive all sorts of other government index figures.

The books are (over)cooked.
