New York Times Sat. Morn. Unemployment

nathangdad · 11-07-2009, 07:42 AM

Aside for the official rate of 10.5% the New York Times has come out with a "broader" ='s realistic unemployment rate of 17.5%

However, I saw an early morning new program with both the reporter and the anchor stating things were getting better because the latest job elimination figure was "only" 190,000. Somehow, the legal definition of insanity flashed through my thoughts.

Interested in all your thoughts and observations.

You should do as I have done and emailed my news station and requested that they stop regurgitating figures we all know to be incorrect. Then ask them to do their jobs and report the actual jobless rate !!
