Behind Those March Unemployment Figures
*** begin quote ***
Although 230,000 new private sector jobs were added to the work force last month—pushing down the unemployment rate o 8.8%—-nearly 14-million Americans remain jobless and millions more among the long-term unemployed have dropped out of the statistics because they have given up even trying to find work, so the true jobless rate is far higher. Tula Connell, Managing Editor at the AFL-CIO writes, “While the official unemployment rate is 8.8 percent, it’s 15.7 percent if unemployed, underemployed and those who have given up looking for work are included—more than 24 million people.”

Why don’t we use Social Security Tax Dollars received?
Maybe because we can’t “adjust” them?
