"According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are more than 28 million people currently unemployed -- that's including those involuntarily working part-time and those who want a job, but have given up on trying to find one. In the face of the worst economic upheaval since the Great Depression, millions of Americans are hurting. "The Decline: The Geography of a Recession," as created by labor writer LaToya Egwuekwe, serves as a vivid representation of just how much. Watch the deteriorating transformation of the U.S. economy from January 2007 -- approximately one year before the start of the recession -- to the most recent unemployment data available today."

The Government isn't giving us the true unemployment rate when they say 9.5. The true rate is something like 18-19% unemployment.
The government ( and I don't capitalizes that on purpose) creates jobs like seasonal workers (census takers, ets) and uses the unemployed that were caled back to work and then layed off...
It's a numbers games of which I wish the would go back out of magic school and do what they were voted in to do.
