Whats more sensational? That articles figures or the Govt figures of 8.1%?

I think the 87 million figure is badly bloated. I don't like to see that kind of thing. Actual unemployment numbers are bad enough. Nothing gained from exagrating.

My previous comment to you was based on you saying:

"people over 65---They're retired or should be retired.

Kids under 18 -- they should all be in school. Whether they are or not. So don't count them either."

I agree that kids over 18 should be in school, but millions are not. If they and those over 65 who are looking for work and can't find it, belong in the unemployment stats.

IMO, your comments were imperious.

I disagree with you on those 65 and over

and I was working full time both in the summers and during the winters during school from the time I was 15

I was emancipated before I was 18 and I had to work
to support myself just to finish highschool

so I guess I disagree with your statements about how the younger ones shouldn't be considered as well

looking for a job....can't find one? you're one of the unemployed

so considering how supportive the MSM etc is of Oboy
and I do believe unemployment is above 20%
