3. They have to minimize these statistics so they can still refer to a"recession".

7. Yeah, as a person's unemployment ran out they are not

8. My husband has been unemployed for four years
He has given up on finding a job, and we just say he is retired, even though he is only 58 years old.

I know he isn't counted in the statistics.

9. Not news to DU.
Posters have been pointing out the true unemployment rate since the crisis began, really, well before then.
