Tigermike 3,050 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 It seems that things are not as bad as we have been hearing from the left. Why does that not surprise me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue72 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 It will be interesting to see how the left spins that after all the whining and gnashing of teeth over the economy. Libbies are a lot like Bammers, the facts only confuse them and make them angry!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioWryn 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Lee County's unemployment rate is at either 2.5 or 2.6 .. drive fifteen minutes down I-85 South into a blue county, and I'm sure it's around 10.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishbone 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Unemployment is a misleading stat because it doesn't count those who aren't seeking work and it doesn't take into account all the McJobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottomfeeder 244 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 It also doesn't include those who have exhausted their unemployment benefits and are out of the system. What are the stats on new claims, or is that what they are quoting? Or, are they stating existing and new claims together for 4.7 %? 193,000 jobs; what kind of jobs?
