What are the real unemployment numbers?

[GH]

I thing the answer to the “who is considered unemployed?” question has more to do with that person being employed in their area of expertise. A software engineer unable to find programming work and forced to take part or full time employment at the local grocery store etc would in my mind be out of work. Also today it is not uncommon for people to take more than a year finding a new job, and this duration will increase.

Complicating the numbers is the fact that many employers have decreased hours to save jobs. Some people are working about a 33 hour work week. Maybe Obama gets his wish, we are turning into France without the cheap power.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are nearly 31 million people currently unemployed — that’s including those involuntarily working parttime and those who want a job, but have given up on trying to find one. In the face of the worst economic upheaval since the Great Depression, millions of Americans are hurting.
