GB is either too stupid to understand this, or he's being dishonest and shilling for Trump.onlyaladd » 16 Feb 2016 12:39 pm » wrote:He said the real unemployment number is 40 whatever.
Implying that many people cannot find work. As I explained it's insignificant....yada yada. It's his way of tricking low info fox viewers into thinking 40+ percent of people are struggling to find work and they are being lied to about the unemployment number.
It's ****, my parents are baby boomers and recently retired because of their age. Trump is saying they are unemployed.
Surely you are smart enough to see that.
I'll let him decide which one of those it is.
Trump did not say that 42% of the country does not work.DEFINITION of 'Unemployment Rate' .......Unemployment is defined most basically as the percentage of the total labor force that is unemployed but actively seeking employment and willing to work.
He said that the 4.9% unemployment rate issued by the BLS is false, and that the rate could be as high as 42%, meaning that 42% of the people in this country are out of work and actively seeking a job.
That 42% would not count stay at home parents or retired people, but only people who want to work but don't have a job.
I'm quite sure that if that number was 42% the ramifications of that would be quite visible to all of us.
Not surprised that GB supports a filthy liar like Trump.
