Oh...*real* unemployment is between 15% and 20%, and has been for some
time, long predating Obama's arrival at the White House.


I bet it is higher. How many are unemployed, want work but are not counted?
How many are taking 2 part time jobs supporting a household? There is the
hidden numbers behind this trend, many taking a job to replace a lost one,
and the new job pays much less.... the middle class is losing big time and
getting a lot smaller.

Like I said, they all lie. Those who know the truth are those who
never had a problem finding decent work, and now can't find it.
All those compiling the statistics, and all those reporting on the
statistics have two things in common.
They are lying, unwittingly or not.
And they have a job.
