30% of U.S. Population is Unemployed & I am somehow not surprised
For every 3 or 4 people I know, at least 1 is unemployed. So this seems about right. Oh and I live in the New York City / NJ area where there's a lot of business.....as we all know.
That graph is ridiculous & pure proof everything we're fed is a lie by the Fed no pun intended. It's a known fact the unemployment rate typically reported by the U.S. is heavily skewed if you look up where they get their definition.
Here's the report from Zerohedge and this quote struck a cord:
I don’t see how anyone can possibly claim that the U.S. economy is doing well. Just prior to the last recession there were 26 million Americans on food stamps, and now we have 44 million. We are on pace to absolutely shatter the all-time record for store closings in a single year, and the number of homeless people living in Los Angeles County has risen by 23 percent over the past 12 months.
But once again, it is a battle of perception vs. reality. Their televisions are endlessly feeding them the message that everything is just fine, and most Americans seem to be buying it, at least for now…>quote
