Comments about ‘Counting the jobless’

Talk about fuzzy math! The drop in unemployment numbers does not mean that jobs were created. Think this one through a little better. In any case, what's your point, Rodger?

Life, and statistics, are never that simple. What about those who have stopped looking for work, are they therefore employed? Are students, once employed during the summer, among the unemployed when back in class? Are the working poor unemployed, or underemployed? Life is too complex, way to complex, to boil it down to black and white.

Simpletons always think the world is as simple as they are.

Which only proves that no one can really gets it right. And itt really doesn't matter that much, unless you are the one unemployed.

Jobless benefits are time limited, meaning that after you have collected benefits for the maximum allowed time, you drop off the list and no longer get benefits. You can also drop of the list by becoming employed, moving out of State, etc. SO the number of people dropping off the list does not accurately reflect the number of jobs created.
