[Futurework] Non Working Numbers

[Karen Watters Cole]

Paul Soloman on PBS NewsHour makes the case early and often that the official unemployment numbers are not accurate; it’s much worse than being reported.  How much worse?  Try 12%.    The officially counted unemployed like urban youth, which is at 35%; The Discouraged Worker who is becoming deskilled; The increase in those on full time disability; The rise of the prison population, 2/3 of which were unemployed at incarceration.   Non Working Numbers @ http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/economy/july-dec03/unemployment_07-29.html   Please congratulate me on not launching into a Bush2-failed economic policy-class warfare politics diatribe.   KWC
