this is like a sad comedy, like a joke is being played on the people of this country. Sort of like someone is pissing on your back and telling you that what you feel is simply the rain falling.

if you are laid off and take a much lower paying job to get by, you are considered employed and part of the booming economy. Even though your income went from$60,000 per year to$40,000.

Answer 1

Some troll will probably say: "Well unemployment is only 4.7%," neglecting the fact that people out of work for more than 6 months aren't counted, and it doesn't account for people who lost good paying jobs and replaced them with lower paying jobs.

Then the troll might say: "Core inflation is low," when it doesn't count food and energy cost increases. Most of us can see that food and energy prices have risen sharply the last few years.

islam..is...: your sources even say that people who have become discouraged and haven't applied for a job within the last 4 weeks of the survey aren't counted, so it isn't an accurate description of the unemployed in this country. You lose.

Due to low wages, globalization and a worthless dollar, we're doomed. The reasons are too lengthy for this format.
