As depressing as the statistic sounds, the jobless rate was a lot higher in the 1970s.

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is not predicated on the candidate’s mastery of or allegiance to facts.

His views on things like immigration or international trade are just not supported by any relevant statistics. So when The Donald called into CBS’ Face the Nation on Sunday and claimed that Americans are living in a “false economy,” where the unemployment rate is actually 40% rather than the 5.1% as reported by the Labor Department, you’d be forgiven for believing this was just another Trumpian whopper.

But actually, this view can be supported by actual statistics. If you use the broadest definition of unemployment, the ratio of people over the age of 16 with jobs to the overall 16-and-over population, the Labor Department says that 40.6% of the population is unemployed.

It is, those are the facts that Obama and his administration have been hiding from the public.

The insidious evil from the Obama administration is so deep and dark that it will take many years to expose the full extent of the deceptions, lies and treason.

Words mean things.

"Unemployment rate" means how many people are unemployed out of all people that could be employed.

The answer is 40%.

Math is not as hard as you make it out to be. Unless you are a lying narcissist, then numbers are magic flexible weapons of mass deception.

Excuse me for bursting your bubble but living off of a Government check (SSI, etc) or welfare is not being a part of working America and by default you are UNEMPLOYED.

What he said...

The reason the current unemployment numbers appear lower than in the 70's is that the way the numbers are calculated are different. Measured the same way, we are worse off than in the 70's. Comparing apples to oranges never presents a truthful picture of a situation, which is handy to remember if you are trying to discern the truth, or obscure it. Changing definitions of words is a favorite lawyer trick, and changing the formulas used to make a calculation is useful if you want to lie with statistics.

Re: Donald Trump says unemployment is actually 40%
a birdie told me a rumor that the unemployment rate is higher among whites

and the reason behind that is b/c their has been a huge push since 2006-2007 to hire minorities.

more of them off food stamps and and welfare and in the work force.

the whites were forced to drain their savings to survive so they have no nest egg to fall back on

next stop the housing market bubble will go kaboom and another chunk of white america will have their savings drained.

the white middle class will be gone in another 10 years

and the jobs the minorities have...alot of them will be automated or outsourced

50% of Americans are on some form of government aid and that's a fact you can look it up.
They don't count the long term unemployed in the numbers, so the actual numbers are around 30% to 40% unemployment.

Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running.

Used by the Founders...
Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives”
reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to
its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in
the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by
the children of the citizens
, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all
their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel

2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges.
3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set.
4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit.

Wish I knew exactly where to find the raw data to analyze how this particular statistic has changed from president to president or Fed chairman to Fed chairman.

The raw data. More than capable of the analysis. I'm betting that the numbers changed right after Clinton and the repeal of Glass-Steagull

I remember when families survived with 1 employeed person.

I've worked in the 70's and I've worked in the 10's. Trust me, the 70's were much better. All the fucking factories that used to cover our country are GONE. Clinton changed the way that unemployment is measured, and how inflation is measured to make himself look good.
Clinton was a really smart guy, maybe genius, but he used it for evil. Maybe that's why george HW bush liked him so much.
