One thing the unemployment rate analysis does not tell you.

So you have been listening to the news and the media is basically telling you that the unemplyment in the U.S is dropping. One thing they dont say is what they are taking into consideration when developing these statistics.


These statistics only include individuals who are currentley collecting unemployment and are basically put on a list to tally them up.

The individuals who have fallen off unemployment because they exhausted their benefits are no longer included in that chart. Now in my opinion that is a bunch of BS. The U.S is basically saying things are getting better, well no their not.

I have been out of work for a while and wasn't even considered unemployed by the government since I am not collecting unemployment. Well I have to tell you they need to include individuals that arent collecting. Now lets think for a second, how would they determine that I am unemployed without seeing a record of unemployment payments......THEY CANT...


In conclusion my friends, things aren't getting better, I feel they are getting worse. Instead of focusing on statistics they should develop some kind of law to prevent employers from discriminating against people out of work, behind on their bills, or bankrupted. Only in the U.S an employer tells you, " Oh we cant hire you because you are late on all your bills" Well how the F@*&%$ do you expect me to pay my bills without a job!

I speak for the people in this one.

I am glad you agree this is something that upsets me especially since I am unemployed and still paying my bills. The banks got a bailout what about us!
