I like trump too but this seems a bit fishy?
>"Kochan estimates a much higher actual unemployment rate than what the BLS reported. “My reading of the full set of numbers is that the real unemployment rate is above 20%. That is, the official unemployment rate is estimated to be 13.3% but another 6% are discouraged or marginal workers who have given up looking for work. BLS also reports that another 3% were classified as employed but actually out of work for ‘other reasons.’ So somewhere between 20% and 22% of the labor force are actually out of work.”
aslo why would the US gain so many jobs while european unemployment is still rising?
