Feb 4, 2012 - As long as you do not count those that already left the job market, and they keep on giving up on finding new jobs, the total workforce number shrinks and that will give you a better unemployment number, that's very good for statistics AND for Obama re-election campaign BUT you have to ask those on the ground, real life, how is to live w/o a job for 2+ years.If you add those that still in the States with no job but who stopped looking for work, unemployment should be at least 10%.
