It's not a reliable source, neither are.LMAO..the graph comes from something called the "Maddow Blog"..well, THAT'S a reliable "source"...
Perhaps you would believe the same chart from the Bureau of Labor Statistics
Or very similar information from the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation
Think of it like this, if you believe the UR is at 5.5 (or whatever bullshit number they said this month) you are on par with people that believe the world and all life on it was created in 6 days.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is not credible? You are really out there, aren't you?
The bible is not credible?
The LS you gave do not reflect reality. They are crunching numbers that are simply not applicable to the current unemployment situation. You like the number because you are probably left leaning. For instance, if you didn't like Bush's economy lets look at the average UE rate under him.... I believe it was somewhere in the 4.5 to 5%.
People supporting Obama at this point can't be helped. They are desperate to find any number that looks good so they can dismiss the overwhelming flood of bad statistics and realities. Less people are working than when Obama took office, it is impossible for the UE rate to be lower... yet it is... Obama has made the metric a joke from this point moving forward in American history.
