Would someone 'splain to me

[ashling]

how they know how many people have"stopped looking for work."

And who decided that these people have "stopped looking for work"

Just because I have run through my unemployment benefits, my state extended benefits, and my federal extended benefits, and therefore no longer file a weekly form that says I am looking for work, am I in the group of people who are considered to be "no longer looking for work."

sheesh! :bounce:



When I meet the 6 fingered man I will say:
My name is Inigo Montoya. . .
you screwed my country. . .
prepare to die!

3. Unemployment numbers

are very misleading. The problem is not everyone thinks it through logically. Some people hear 'stopped looking for work' and think these people have hit it big and are sunning themselves on the beaches of Antigua.:eyes:
