Because most of the construction workers of today are illegal aliens, and are not likely to run down to the unemployment office to get a check. Another thing is this is the time of year when Christmas season hires a lot of temporary workers, who will appear on the hire list as jobs created, so losses ad creations have a way of balancing out (wink). What’s even worse is many of the people hired a temps already have a job and are trying to earn more for the season. Most of them will not be recognized when January comes and they start to let them go.

Those unemployment statistics can be adjusted to say or represent anything the government wants them to say.

Over half the population either works for are dependent on the government for an income.

If you have 2-3 jobs you represent 2-3 employed people even though only one of you actually has the job.

If you have been laid off/fired and are not or are no longer receiving unemployment benefits, and you are still looking for a job, according to the governments statistical definitions you are considered employed.

Hell if you are living on welfare in this country today you are not considered unemployed.

Just keep on believing what your told and they'll keep on spoon-feeding you with whatever you will swallow.

Wait for it there will be somebody who will post, a proverbial, huh uh!
