Then again anyone with a grain of common sense could figure out that the retarded methodology the BLS employs is bound to create the illusion that all is well. They purposely discount individuals that have stopped looking for work in coming up with their unemployment numbers. Hence, the 5% figure is not an accurate reflection of the landscape. The chart below provides a more realistic view of the unemployed in the U.S and in some areas we believe that the numbers could be more than 30%<br /><br /> <a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article53996.html" class="morelink" title="Read full article..."> Read full article... <span>Read full article...</span></a></p> <p align="right" class="subdued">   </p> <hr />   <p><span class="thumbnail"><a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Topic6.html"> <img src="images/topics/economics.gif" alt="Economics" /> </a></span><h4><span class="date">Saturday, August 08, 2015</span></h4><h3><a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article51766.html">U.S. Official Unemployment 5.3%, Real 10.4%</a> / <a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Topic6.html">Economics</a> / <a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/News-catid-240.html">Unemployment</a></h3> <p class="caption">By: Mike_Shedlock</p> <h2><img src="../images/gold_star.gif" width="82" height="78" align="right" />Initial Reaction</h2> <p>Today's job report (for July) once again showed a divergence between the household survey and the establishment survey.</p> <p>The divergence was not as large as last month, but was in the same usual direction: The establishment survey was stronger than the household survey.</p> <p>Household survey employment rose by 101,000 while the establishment survey shows an increase of 215,000 jobs.</p> <a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article51766.html" class="morelink" title="Read full article..."> Read full article... <span>Read full article...</span></a></p> <p align="right" class="subdued">   </p> <hr />   <p><span class="thumbnail"><a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Topic6.html"> <img src="images/topics/economics.gif" alt="Economics" /> </a></span><h4><span class="date">Thursday, February 19, 2015</span></h4><h3><a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article49497.html">UK Unemployment Plunge Conservative Election Boost</a> / <a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Topic6.html">Economics</a> / <a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/News-catid-240.html">Unemployment</a></h3> <p class="caption">By: Nadeem_Walayat</p> <p><img src="../images/gold_star.gif" width="79" height="78" align="right" />UK unemployment falls to its lowest level for 6 years as statistics for the 3 months to December 2014 register a drop of 97,000 claimants to 1.86 million, standing at 5.7% of the workforce, and down nearly 1/2 million on a year ago that illustrates a continuing strong trend in the reduction of domestic unemployment that is set against approx 700,000 jobs created.

Any worker whose job does not require daily face-to-face interaction is now in jeopardy of being replaced by a lower-paid equally skilled worker thousands of miles away. American jobs are being lost not to competition from foreign companies, but to multinational corporations that are cutting costs by shifting operations to low-wage countries.” Roberts and Schumer challenged the correctness of economists’ views that jobs off-shoring was merely the operation of mutually beneficial free trade, about which no concerns were warranted.</p> <a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article46861.html" class="morelink" title="Read full article..."> Read full article... <span>Read full article...</span></a></p> <p align="right" class="subdued">   </p> <hr />   <p><span class="thumbnail"><a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Topic6.html"> <img src="images/topics/economics.gif" alt="Economics" /> </a></span><h4><span class="date">Tuesday, June 17, 2014</span></h4><h3><a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article46085.html">U.S. Unemployment - They’re Lying To Us</a> / <a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Topic6.html">Economics</a> / <a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/News-catid-240.html">Unemployment</a></h3> <p class="caption">By: John_Rubino</p> <p>One of the frustrating things about the monthly US jobs report is the way everyone focuses on the wrong number.

MacKenzie writes: The <a href="http://www.bea.gov/newsreleases/national/gdp/gdpnewsrelease.htm" target="_blank">latest GDP report</a> indicates a slowdown in overall economic activity in the first quarter of 2014. Apologists for the Obama administration attribute the recent slowdown to unusual winter weather. Some have even suggested that the first-quarter slowdown sets the stage for rapid economic growth for the remainder of this year: there is pent up demand and untapped potential productivity, they claim. Mobilization of unemployed resources and satisfaction of unmet demands could, in the remainder of 2014, translate into a faster annual rate of GDP growth, perhaps 3.5 percent. The flaws of this argument should be obvious. One can just as easily argue that the much larger slowdown of 2008 set the stage for fast growth in the 2009-2013 time frame. The 2008 crisis left us with much greater pent up demand and untapped productivity. Yet the recovery that began in 2009 nearly stalled in 2010 and has been extraordinarily slow.
