In December, 929,000 out-of-work Americans did their part to help the Obama administration, staying out of the official unemployment figures by not looking for a job.

  • Obama counts all of them and counts them as jobs saved. He uses Al Gores Fuzzy Math.

  • The numbers also dont account for the self employed that may be working a little but are not turning a profit . They cannot collect even if they want to and are not included so the unemployment numbers are much higher in reality.

  • im one of the hopeless, unaccounted..

    im unemployed, I want to be counted, where do i signup?

  • how does someone get themselves to show back up in the official count, short of actually landing a job?

  • Dont call them "discouraged Workers" call them "Hopeless people", Obama has spead hopelessness since he has been in office. You can be a man of "Hope" unless you have lots of Hopelessness.. the more Hopelessness that he creates the more votes he thinks he will get.. he is a destroyer.

  • @Gwish Hi - thanks for your reply, but can't remember what posted. Well, can say, nothing's improved very much in the jobs dept.- specially since temp census-takers retired. Problem seems to be business doesn't know what's coming down the pike tax- and regulation-wise & keeping most cash at home rather than hiring. This admin. wants power to tax & regulate & the heck with what it does to the economy. Most tax events occurring in 2010 as 2011 is scary w/new kick-ins. 2011 gonna be bad.

  • @queenofrumania thats funny when this video blames Obama???

  • There should be a website for all the "Actual" unemployed people to register so we can get the real numbers....Its all a bunch of lies!! or as they put it, another day at the office and politics as usual.

  • It cant work once unemployment drops to say 7% people will notice the difference and start looking! Best it can do is stop the rate from going to 11%

  • 1 million people = 0.33% of the population. The jobless rate is still shrinking. Numbers are nothing without comparison!
