I think its actually higher than that….but who is counting!

[Jan SobieskiParticipant 28791]

You’re probably right.

U don’t know enough about econ, but there people who don’t even try anymore.

I’m sorry I couldn’t PM you the other day, their still working on it. But I can tell you this much as generality about NC

It is divided into three parts Mountain west, Piedmont and coastal tidewater region. The people in these areas differ greatly in terms of politics. The Greensboro Raleigh “research triangle is liberal-ville to the point they could make a californian blush. The rural Piedmont is mostly farms–a lot of pig/chicken farms actually.

I lived in the western mountains for years. Its beautiful and picturesque. Asheville is libtard central. In fact years ago there were signs put up along the interstates in california advertising Asheville as the gayest/friendly city east of the Mississippi. And in truth its like a mini-san fransico. The rest of the western mountains are OK…normal down to earth hard working folks and like most “southerners” very territorial. You see a no trespassing sign it must be treated the same as the old Checkpoint Charlie. But that is the same everywhere in the South.

Finally state tax rates are high, as is property values/costs. Many places particularly in the mountains, coastline and research triangle are VERY expensive. They are building up the area very fast. When I got out of law school and couldn’t find a “real” job I ended up working for Lowes–Store #3 and I spent time in delivery. YOU wouldn’t believe some of the houses out there in the woods. There are palaces out there.

One last thing. Getting a carry concealed license is very time-consuming and expensive. Just wanted to let you know.

That looks so familiar.
I mean in my home country it’s just the same: so many manipulated (news headline) statistics concerning unemployment rates (and yes, even here there are so many tricks of the trade to do this; ie. unemployed people currently being in re-integration-into-the-workforce-measures are out of the “official” statistics and so on and so forth…).

Hence our saying (translated): “Never trust any statistic that you haven’t rigged yourself…”

I’m betting it’s more like 33% in the welfare districts where the men have been made outcasts by the state.

Wherever the war on poverty ran amuck there’s now desperate poverty controlled by the state, a poverty industry ruled by the state.

The war on poverty has panned out to be a war on prosperity!!!

Check out Shadowstats. They include people off unemployment. Its in the 22% range. Thing is, government does not count people who’s unemployment benefits run out. So each month people drop off the charts.

Now that just speaks volumes, chir. You know, some while ago I discovered a video of an interview of some kind with an old man, who has pretty much “seen it all” and very much knows what really is going on.

The basic subject was about the state of the whole world, economics politics etc. and well in that interview he claimed that our self complacent government virtually seems to regard all the poorer people of our country below a certain monetary value threshold (which in our case would be as much as a quarter of our population btw) as “expendable” in conjunction with any next major worldwide economic crash should it occur (I kid you not), kind of like: “…well in that case, let them all die, what the hell…”.

And as far fetched as this may have sounded at first glance, I actually believed him…
So what does that say about our government, which ever so much prides itself about allegedly providing the best welfare system there is in the world..? Well, to me it simply forces out the following response: “Ah f*ck that, I’ll go my own way… (and yes, why should I in fact even remain/stay here, why..?)”

If definitely higher than 4.3%. If people would read the internals of these numbers they would see that the jobs that were added were seasonal part time jobs, that will go away in the new year. These numbers are taking into consideration only the people that in the work force. Almost 100 million American citizens have dropped out of the labor force, and are no longer looking for work.

So when you see these liberals say Obama did a great job with economics, HE DIDN’T. Couple that with his foreign policy and you have a recipe for disaster.

[Oz-BlokeParticipant 3233]

One thing that bugs me about the generalized un/employment rate is that it makes no differentiation between full-employment and underemployment. Here in Australia consecutive governments, via the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), have f~~~ed with the definition of ’employment’ so much that it now means as little as an hour of work a week. For f~~~’s sake, who can live on an hour’s pay a week? Yet according to our government you are technically ’employed’.

Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of welfare recipients not counted as unemployed because they are in some bulls~~~ government ‘work skills’ program. Governments do this to hide the truth about underemployment and mask how feminism has driven down wages and lowered family living standards –

Years ago, I was doing one of those Work For The Dole schemes and I was told that despite the fact that I was still collecting the dole while still expected to look for work, people who were doing the WftD were not classified as unemployed for statistical purposes.

I agree and the sad part is you have unemployed people believing that the unemployment rates are low. Too brainwashed to take a step back and take a look around or even in their own lives and understand what the media says is not the same as what the frontlines say.

Never lose sight of what brought you here.

I’ve been saying this since 2008, but we’re in a f~~~ing DEPRESSION man, NOT a recession. The only reason we don’t have literally MILES of lines to the soup kitchens in every major city in the US is because of EBT cards. It masks the real poverty and unemployment rates. The unemployment rate in the Great Depression was 25%. I’d wager it’s about that nowadays too. Shadowstats said it was about 20% a few years ago. I bet it’s even higher now. This whole talk about a “recovery” is total BULLS~~~!

[xenonParticipant 2007]

It looks like a good recovery for those at the top of a 19000 dow.

Going off that and recent census data there are 174mil people between 18-65 years old in the US which means over half the working age population is jobless.

Fuct

I thought what I'd do was I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes...or should I?

[KevinStylesParticipant 2580]

Ya the reported unemployment rate is bulls~~~. It only takes into account people actively looking for full time employment.

It doesn’t take into account people who have given up looking or that have taken a lesser part time job rather than a career position because it’s the only thing that’s hiring.

That 9.x % rate just factors in those who have given up looking. It still doesn’t take into account the underemployed.
