in reality, for years now since bush took over and had been changing the way unemployment was calculated, they didnt count all the people that had falling off the unemployment rolls, nor did they count people who had not found a job but were trying to make ends meet with home businesses that failed left and right, and many that have become homeless as well as jobless for an extended period.
