Are you saying that the Department Of Labor provides us with false information. Yes, I would believe that in recent years the unemployment rate may not be reported honestly. It may be purposely under-estimated. Certainly in the last 2 years we've lost 2 million real jobs, that is we have 2 million fewer total jobs in the US today than just 2 years ago. and at this same time the government reports only pretty small increases in unemployment. The wall street journal, Investor's business Daily, Barron's have all run editorials since 1996 openly questioning the honesty of government statistics in the present era. But I think that the Department of Labor was honest about reporting unemployment before this period. And certainly the methodology of measuring unemployment changed in 1993 so that we now measure about 1/2% lower than what we should measure if by the old method. But since about 1870 they've been measuring those statistics. And I don't believe that these stats are generally false. But this view is never allowed to be spoken in schools or in the media. That is why people say it is false. But the department of labor has these stats. When economists look at the details they say that the view I've presented is true. It is simply a taboo view. Sheeples know this inherently and draw away from it in fear.
