Unemployment LIES

UNEMPLOYMENT LIES: The Obama administration and all the other Democrats are celebrating the new employment numbers that say it is “down” to 5.6%. But that's a BIG LIE (which is nothing new to Obama). If all the millions of people who have GIVEN UP on ever getting another job and have thus LEFT the employment market were counted,  the number would be 12%. When somebody stops looking for work for whatever reason including “giving up,” the Department of Labor stops counting them, which makes the unemployment figure look better since then a smaller PERCENTAGE of people are then COUNTED as unemployed. Furthermore, if an unemployed person spends ONE HOUR working at ANYTHING (such as cutting grass for a neighbor), they are counted as WORKING. Even if that $20 is all they made this week. This is how the government allows itself to LIE about such things with a straight face. They actually BELIEVE their lies. (American Thinker)
