You know what sucks about the concept of this thread?

It's that it minimizes the problem.

90.6% of Americans do NOT have jobs - that's not how unemployment statistics are kept. In fact, look further down the article and you'll find this:

Quote:

Further, a separate unemployment gauge, which includes workers who can find only part-time work and discouraged workers, rose to a record in 16.4 percent in May from 15.8 percent in April. That index was at 15.6 percent in March. What's more, the number of workers forced to work part-time because they can not secure full-time work increased 164,000 in May to 9.1 million.

We are losing jobs at a breakneck pace. To be honest, with the current administration's policy of governmental interference in the private sector, this will continue.
