Unempoyment is getting better? Really?

You could actually equate unemployment with the idea of compound interest. If you are unemployed, you do not earn credits to collect unemployment. Unemployed people do not show up to collect unemployment again so they drop off the roles. As time goes on, more and more people are disqualified due to not having quarters. The statistics continue to drop while unemployment rises.

Fl swamp crud is never going to grasp it is he. Keep playing the Obongo boggie.

If you were to add those who have stopped looking for work to the unemployed base

the TRUE number would be 19.85 percent of the Nation is not employed, Suck on

that one FL swamp crud.

What makes me mad is Obama and his minions lying about how bad things are by telling everyone the unemployment rate id just 8.2%. The Congressional Budget Office said if you add back in the number of people who are no longer drawing unemployment and haven't found work the REAL unemployment rate is about 11%. That's not counting those who are underemployed.

Jail for the Chief.

False.

There are not 69 million unemployed people.

You clearly don't understand how unemployment compensation works.

When a person files (with their state) for UC, it is counted as a "new" filing. When that same person files again in 2 weeks, it's another "new" filing. Everytime someone signs up, it's "new", regardless of how many times that same person has signed up.

EDIT: If someone is unemployed for a year, and files for UC every 2 weeks, that's 26 "new" claims. It's not that the person has lost 26 jobs.

I don't deny that unemployment is still a major problem, and Obama isn't doing much of nothing to help. But the way you spin those numbers is false.

Yes, really. When Bush43 left office, he had the economy losing 700,000 jobs a month. During the past two years, the economy has grown bout 150,000 jobs a month.

"You won't hear them on any other network... I wonder why?"

Because they are nonsense. As a conservative, you think FO卐 News is reporting the truth.

You people are obsessed with justifying your irrational hatred for President Obama. You people tout any report that looks bad and ignore everything positive.

Libs are breaking out the party hats to celebrate, damn the numbers!

Griggnax is full of bullshit. They are called initial claims for a reason...,

Unemployment is as bad as it ever was, and it certainly is not getting better. In some parts of the country it is as high as 25%, about what it was nationwide during the Great Depression.

No, only delusional liberals believe this.
