WELL WELL:: When are the real and correct STATISTICS on the unemployment rate actually going to be stated??. The 8% stated in the article are the number of people receiving unemployment payments each week. This does not reflect the people who have exhausted their unemployment benefits and extension and are no longer receiving unemployment check each week and WHO ARE STILL UNEMPLOYED!! Truth be known the actual UNEMPLOYED RATE IS PROBABLY MORE LIKE 13 TO 15% if the OBAMA GOVERNMENT TOLD THE TRUTH. DICTATORS NEVER TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THE CONDITIONS IN THE COUNTRY THEY RULE OVER.WELCOME TO THE MUSLIM STATES OF OBAMA FORMERLY(USA) RULED BY SUPREME DICTATOR OBAMA.
