We are assessing the number of unemployed citizens in a totally half-assed manner which in no way represents the true unemployment numbers.
Just because those who had been receiving unemployment insurance have gone down doesn't mean that those same people now have jobs. It only means they are no longer eligible for unemployment insurance! It's run out! They can't get it anymore! They are now left with no unemployment insurance AND no employment! But those people are now supposedly employed according to the government's calcuation?
Do you think, maybe, someone could take a survey of the people who are unemployed and have NO unemployment insurance?
I have been unemployed for years. I am intelligent, highly skilled as a legal secretary and in retail, I am business savvy and presentable but still a member of the "unemployable" due to my age and over-qualification. I have been INELIGIBLE for unemployment benefits. I have not been receiving unemployment benefits. Why have I not been counted as one of the UNEMPLOYED?
I have since taken money from my IRA to start a business but for the most part I have been unemployed for years.
The TRUE unemployment numbers would be astounding if the TRUE number of unemployed were counted.
