Anyway, I'm still wondering if this is true... How is a decrease in the overall unemployment percentage down possible with all of the REAL job categories down...

Oh, here's my answer.

"Job losses in the construction, manufacturing, and information
industries were offset by job gains in temporary help services and health
care. Since the recession began, payroll employment has decreased by 7.2
million."

They are "Potato Chip" jobs... You want just one, but, to make ends meet... Well, you'd better have three.
