How are this accurate when ALOT of people can't claim unemployment anymore? and still can't find a job? How do the arrive at this number? IS it by the people that are able to claim unemployment?

*How are these numbers accurate*

Just curious....how do they come up with the unemployment rate ? Is it based on how many people are filing for unemployment benefits ?

If so... this would be a Terribly InAccurate number...because, I know a lot of people who are STILL Searching for Work, who have already exhausted their unemployment benefits.

Also....wondering how many people have "lost" their decent jobs....and now have had to take a much lower paying job, that does NOT offer the benefits ( such as vacation days, sick days, medical insurance etc) that their "Real" job was providing.

The United States Corporate Businesses have been a HUGE disappointment over the last 10 years ! ! !

1. Closing down factories - of all kinds

2. Outsourcing

3. No respect for the loyal and dedicated workers

Money is there God!
