The U-6 numbers state clearly - Jan 2012 unemployment - seasonally adjusted is 15.1% - not seasonally adjusted is 16.2%
You want to use those numbers to defend Obama and his great economic record? |
Not defending it. In fact, I'll be the first to criticize, and have done so in the past, the ludicrous HARP and HAMP programs for example.
But regardless of what number you look at, the trend remains the same. The employment situation is gradually getting better. And recoveries from financial crises have historically been slow going.
