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!!!

well all I'm saying is that some jobs are being and have been created.I personally beleive that we are recovering at this time.Is it as good as what the Whitehouse says? doubtful.But,It isn't as bad as the Republicans are saying either.the truth probably falls somewhere in the middle.
you know,people choose to beleive whatever source for imformation they want to.As a rule i don't take much stock in either Fox news or MSNBC because they are,in my opinion,slanted in their views.In this day and age of politics in our nation there is a very distinct line between the two sides.Me,I'm still a midle of the road person who thinks that little will get done until BOTH parties are forced by the public to do the jobs they are being paid to do.I also beleive that the 2 news agencies are very responsible for keeping the division alive and well.
