U6 January 2009 - 13.5% - we already HAVE double digit unemployment
Edited on Fri Jan-09-09 11:54 AM by Phred42
Can we stop regurgitating the MSM's propaganda and U3 as 'the unemployment figure' ?

As most here know the U6 is the more accurate figure - we should use it.

Unemployment is 13.5% as of January 2009.
We have HAD double digit unemployment since early last year.
