Michael Snyder: "There are highly qualified [unemployed] people that can’t even get an interview even though they are sending out hundreds and hundreds of resumes. What are they doing wrong? They aren’t doing anything wrong. The employment market is far tighter than we are being led to believe, and that isn’t going to change any time soon."

"The elite are trying to do their best to convince us that everything is just fine, but meanwhile the Conference Board’s index of leading economic indicators has now

fallen for 19 months in a row…"

"Right now, there are only 6.5 million U.S. adults that are officially considered to be “unemployed”.

"But another 99.9 million U.S. adults are considered to be “not in the labor force”. So they don’t count as being “unemployed”. When you add those two numbers together, you get a grand total of 106.4 million U.S. adults that do not have a job right now."

At no point during the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009 did that number get anywhere close to that.

Below: observe the data from Shadowstats.com, and check in with them from time to time when you question the dishonest government and media numbers. If inflation was measured the way that it was back in 1980, the official rate of inflation would be well into double digit territory. If honest numbers were being used for unemployment, the official rate would be about 25 percent right now.
