see my previous post.
Are you scared enough yet to be tricked into throwing your grand children's money into useless spending in the name of an actual problem?

Interesting posts James. I appreciate the link to Image Zoom too. That flowchart gave me a headache, but it probably isn't as big of a headache as those who are unemployed are having right now. Don't worry about Ron. He's obsessing over everything since the election.
We're told that unemployment is the worst since 1974. However, at the end of the Carter administration, it was worse -- nearly 10 percent.
James Holden,
Sorry, but your schematic's conclusion doesn't meet the smell test.
If 7.2 percent unemployment equals 17.5 percent as measured 80 years ago, then, the 9.7 percent unemployment rate recorded in 1982 would extrapolated to 23.5 percent as measured, by your statement, 80 years ago.
Obviously, there was no repeat of the great depression during the early 80's, nor massive numbers on the streets. I suggest you need to re-examine your conclusions.

i'm not sayin' all the math is right on that second chart, but it does a great job of pointing out that the formula's the government uses to report non/un/underemployment have changed-- and that they rarely report the true number of non/un/underemployed people.
i don't take statics as facts, unless they are provided by an agency that I trust with many supporting facts and a comprehensive breakdown of the results.
