People buy Bureau of Labor statistics at face value without much critical examination. Through accounting tricks, they under-report unemployment figures. If you want a more realistic number of the unemployment situation in the US, take that number they are saying represents unemployment in the US and roughly double it. That would put us on parity with our European neighbors.
