[quote=jpinpb]As far as unemployment goes, shouldn’t we also consider all those people not working who are prohibited from filing for unemployment? I think part-timers can’t, self-employed can’t, under-the-table can’t.
The unemployment figures are higher, for all intents and purposes, then. That’s also money not going into the economy and income missing from a household. [/quote]
In fact, the unemployment figure jumps to almost 16% if we include the categories of people you set forth above.
Check out the third chart down. It’s going parabolic…
