The next time some liberal idiot mouths off that the unemployment number is 5%, you can hot glue the below, printed out, to their damned forehead. The government LIES and HAS BEEN lying on unemployment for some time, going on for some time. They quote the U3 number which is bullshit. portalseven/employment/unemployment_rate_u6.jsp WHAT IS the U6 number? The U6 unemployment rate counts not only people without work seeking full-time employment (the more familiar U-3 rate), but also counts “marginally attached workers and those working part-time for economic reasons.” Note that some of these part-time workers counted as employed by U-3 could be working as little as an hour a week. And the “marginally attached workers” include those who have gotten discouraged and stopped looking, but still want to work. The age considered for this calculation is 16 years and over.” The numbers below are listed by year and month Jan-Dec. For example, 14.2% is the U6 number for January 2009 when President Obola took over and 17.1% for December 2009. 2009: 14.2 15.1 15.7 15.9 16.4 16.5 16.5 16.7 16.7 17.1 17.1 17.1 2010: 16.7 17.0 17.0 17.1 16.6 16.5 16.5 16.5 16.8 16.7 16.9 16.6 2011: 16.2 16.0 15.8 16.0 15.8 16.1 16.0 16.1 16.3 16.0 15.5 15.2 2012: 15.2 15.0 14.5 14.5 14.8 14.8 14.9 14.7 14.7 14.5 14.4 14.4 2013: 14.4 14.3 13.8 13.9 13.8 14.3 14.0 13.6 13.6 13.7 13.1 13.1 2014: 12.7 12.6 12.7 12.3 12.2 12.1 12.2 12.0 11.7 11.5 11.4 11.2 NOTE: During the Bush years the rate was low, reaching single digits, while it soared under Obama’s disastrous economic policies such as the EPA closing down power plants, keeping farms closed down, keeping pipelines from being built, etc.
