Can't do math eh? Here if 8 million is five percent multiply that by 7 and what do you get?Nowhere does that article state there are 17 million people unemployed; plus that article is 6 months old.Here:You sure do make a lot of claims you can't back up. I'm still waiting for you to prove your claim that 17 million are unemployed...Just post the comparison friend on what jobs are filled. LOL, I like clueless folks like you and your friends. You're so far off it's hilariousThat's the U-6 rate, not an unemployment rate. But even at 9.8%, it's way down from its 17% post recession high and down from 14.2% when Bush left office.Sorry, But The Real Unemployment Rate Is 9.8%, Not 5%
"The chart shows how misleading the unemployment statistics are. If you include people who have given up looking for work, the unemployment rate is 6%. If you include people stuck in a part-time job for 20 or 25 hours a week, the real unemployment rate is a dreadful 9.8%. Why is Washington cheering?"
Hell, the unemployment rate is lower now than it was under Reagan at this same point in his presidency.![]()
Donald Trump Is Right: The Unemployment Rate Is 40%
"But actually, this view can be supported by actual statistics. If you use the broadest definition of unemployment, the ratio of people over the age of 16 with jobs to the overall 16-and-over population, the Labor Department says that 40.6% of the population is unemployed."
Your idiotic claim falls unsubstantiated. You lose again.![]()
