I answered. The government would be included in "everybody." Funny how you insist I answer your questions but you refuse to answer mine.Everybody lies. The question is whether or not they're lying about this particular thing and what your evidence is that they are lying. Surely even you are not stupid enough to claim that every single thing the government says is a lie?
So...why do you claim the government is lying about how they collect the UE data (they say they do not base it on UI benefits, and you say they really do) and what is your evidence to support this?
Not everybody lies but to ask you one more time
The government lies yes or no?
That doesn't mean they're lying about how they collect the numbers and it certainly doesn't mean your specific claim that the numbers come from UI benefits.Because the numbers do no match with the actual number of people not having a job.So...why do you claim the government is lying about how they collect the UE data
Here is the government numbers: As of the week of Nov 6-12 there were 7,005,495
people receiving benefits from all programs (according to DoL Employment and Training Administration
There were 13,102,000 actual unemployed, adjusted for normal seasonal changes to 13,303,000. Getting more specific, the unadjusted number is between 12,782,418 and 13,421,582 at 90% confidence (between 8.3% and 8.7% UE rate) and the seasonally adjusted number is between 140,056,617 and 141,103,383 at 90% confidence (between 8.4% and 8.9% UE rate). Gallup's estimate of the Unadjusted UE rate is between 7.5% and 9.5% at 95% confidence.
So, what's the real number and where did you get it from and what defintions are you using?
That doesn't mean they're lying about how they collect the numbers and it certainly doesn't mean your specific claim that the numbers come from UI benefits.
How they collect and releasing the real numbers is different stop trying to deflect. They collect but what they release is two different things.
Let's take what I do for instance. According to government records in 2008 there were 555,900 Plumbers, pipelayers, pipefitters, and steamfitters. That is a crock of shit. A little over half a million in the U.S.?
