There's an old saying that figures lie and liers figure. The fact is that we are not in a recovery. We're losing jobs every day to China and other overseas countries. Our actual unemployment figures are closer to 15-18%. They (Washington) are skewing the numbers by not counting people that are unemployed and have used up their unemployment benefits... so since they are not drawing unemployment they are not counted as unemployed anymore. The actual number of people unemployed is much higher than what's being reported.
Additionally, they cut back the figure on the number of jobs available here in the US. They say that since the jobs have left, and there's little hope of them returning, then they don't have to count them as missing, and so therefore, since the number of unfilled jobs has shrunk, we are in an upturn. It's all a pack of lies.. We're still in a downward spiral and it's getting worse, not better. My God, wake up and smell the roses people... get informed!!!
