FUD or FRAUD

What everybody overlooks is that the government really "fudges" the facts. Those listed as being unemployed and the lower unemployed rates are effected by - when a person becomes unemployed they collect unemployment insurance. When they become employed they drop off the rolls "OR" when their benefits run out they are not considered unemployed anymore.... So all that figure is - is a count of people collecting unemployment insurance. SO after all these years the pool of employed "ITs" has been reduced and there are fewer to lay off. So there are fewer collecting unemployment insurance...

The government doesn't care or keep track of unemployed people once they fall off the unemployment insurance rolls "period".

So, remember if you are not collecting unempoyment insurance "you're" not unemployed anymore!

I apologize to those that are unemployed - this is the government's rules not mine.

Like everyone else "I" jumped on the band-wagon and joined the rush to computer related jobs - then got left in the ashes as the jobs were sent overseas. (At this point in time no comment!)
