How dare the MSM lapdogs deny Chicago Jesus his latest miracle!
ROCKLEDGE, Fla. (WaPo) — The nation’s jobless rate has declined to its lowest level in three years, a fact that has left Jamie Bean, an unemployed air-conditioner repairman, feeling more left out than ever.
Bean, 36, lost his job in December. Now he is scrambling to keep up with child-support payments to his wife, who is also unemployed. “As it stands now, I can’t afford to get divorced,†he said, managing a wry smile.
Bean’s predicament is not unlike that of many people who have a high school education or less. Not only were they hit especially hard by the recession but they have continued losing ground in the recovery that has followed.
By disproportionate numbers, these Americans have given up looking for work, making the nation’s recovery appear better than it is. If the unemployment rate counted the 2.8 million people who want jobs but have stopped looking, it would sit at 9.9 percent rather than its current 8.3 percent.

There is almost 46 million people on EBT. The official unemployment numbers do not add up.

Darn, so you're saying trickle down economics hasn't worked? The job creators aren't creating any jobs?
Darn. Oh well, capitalism is a failure, let's try communism now. Grab a hammer and sickle, comrades!

Maybe this has been covered but isn't the unemployment rate directly related to those who are collecting benefits?
So if your benefits have run out, you're not part of that # any more?

I believe you are still part of that number as long as you're actively looking for work (whether or not you are receiving an unemployment check). Once you quit looking (discouraged, whatever) then you don't count in the numbers.
