So maybe there are more Americans but there are less that are working or care about working.

36% of Americans are not working nor are they looking for work..they are not participating. It's all in the BLS report.
The BLS is play fast and lose with the numbers. The MSM is playing along as well. Bloggers to the rescue

Don't forget that folks who exhaust their unemployment benefits are no longer considered to be unemployed, as IBD recently reported.

Another 'inconvenient truth' that Dems would prefer be kept under wraps.

So they are unemployed but not collecting money from Uncle Sam so he doesn't count them anymore.

I wonder how high that number really is.
Shadowstats shows unemployment hovering at about 22%.

IBD is wrong. Only about 2/3 of the 14.5M unemployed receive benefits.
