If this were the actual case my son would be back at his six figure railroad conductor job instead of driving a garbage truck for a third of what he did make with longer hours six days a week sorry HC too ...
Since we have the opportunity for positive change, we need to change how the unemployment numbers are reported. It does not represent the real situation.
Yep, if we use the cooked numbers that 0bama has been using, before long we'll have more people employed than live in the country.......
Every time I see one of these threads, I picture in my mind a liberal getting up in the morning and going "what am I going to lie about today?" as they pour some coffee.

If this economy is as strong as implied by these bogus numbers, why was Trump elected primarily on his economic plans?

This was a very valid method when the rate was going up, and when it hit 10.5%. When it started falling, it became invalid, and now that it's 4.6%, it's basically a liberal conspiracy. The good news is that in Jan 20, it will become the gold standard again.
Or maybe Trump will assume the method which includes part timers and every other group which are not included
