7. That is the number of people who are actually drawing unemployment
What is the real jobless rate?
These buttheads quit counting people when they lost their unemployment back in the Regan years and it helps to make the picture a little less dismal.

Count all the people who can't find work.

Then I would like to see the number on people who had good paying jobs and now work at McDonald's or Wal-Mart.
They never talk about the recession of wages either.

These numbers mean shit.
