Reply #2: One Of The Themes Here That I Picked Up Over The Last 8 Years Of BushCo......

[global1]

is that the unemployed number is really higher than being reported because it doesn't count those people that have tapped out their unemployment compensation and have dropped off the rolls. I heard that the unemployment numbers that were being reported where in fact higher than was being reported - because if they would have reported the real unemployed - BushCo would have looked even worse. I interpreted that BushCo fostered this reporting because it was more favorable to them.

You seem like you have a good appreciation of Unemployment Reporting. Could you please comment on my interpretation of what I was reading here the last 8 years? Was there any truth to the fact that the numbers of unemployed were being under-reported?
