20. The number of unemployed hasn't gone down even once this year. It's only gone up. |

You're talking about whether the rate at which people are becoming unemployed is rising or falling. The rate change has nothing to do with the fact that every week, hundreds of thousands *more* people lose their jobs. I hope to see the rate decline, of course, but the real benchmark is: are we losing jobs or gaining them? That will decide the next election cycle.
