5%% unemployment rate reported by BLS
BLS Statistics 4th Qtr 2007
Civilian labor force .... 153,667,000
Employment ........... 146,291,000
Unemployment ..........7,375,000
Not in labor force ......79,270,000
so if the bush liar doesn't count those 70 million people his numbers don't
look that bad
but not all of them are voluntarily out of the labor force and if anyone
believes that
the 5%% or 7 1/2 million counted as unemployed are all there actually are,
they must be ignorant hillbillies
the actual unemployment rate if you count just 10 %% or 7.9 million of those
not in the labor pool is more than 10%%
also, if we eliminated the 35 million illegals, not only would we have the
lowest unemployment
in history but wages would be driven up dramatically as employers had to
compete for workers
