That means you don't even count in the 9.7%...which is what is so scary. It only includes people that are still actively searching...not the millions that have given up.

If you include EVERYBODY that is truly unemployed, the number is more around 15%.

Don't worry, you're not the only one. College takes strenuous devotion no matter who you are.

This is what my women genius friend (literally), Charlotte, said: True unemployment rate at 20% - the numbers are deflated to cease panic, the fed is not counting those who gave up looking for work, have had hours cut, they are counting military as employed, etc. Only the third world has numbers this bad...

Yeah, the only reason I mentioned her IQ was because she's excellent at calculating and retaining this kind of knowledge. I'm not allowed to give out her last name because she used to run a famous website that was under constant attack from Fundamentalists, but some of her essays are showcased Here. Most of those are mine.

And that is only people who are actively looking for jobs, and does not take into account people that have given up on looking...if those are included the rate is well into the double digits, probably 12 or 13%

This is the highest unemployment rate in the US in 25 years.
good on them

Who Moved My Cheese is a great book and it could very well be applied to our economic situation as far as the way to make money is changing yet people continue to go to the same place thinking the money is still there.  No [N]

The government always lies and says the figures are lower, the official British figures are between 2-3 million when it's really between 10-15 million.
