The White House was in celebration mode today. This after the Labor Department declared the joblessness numbers have fallen to a three year low to 8.5 percent. Approximately 212,000 new jobs were created, but many feel that these numbers are distorted since people who have been unemployed for long periods of time and people how have part-time jobs were omitted. David Swanson, activist and author of When the World Outlawed War, joins us to examine the numbers.

  • Only reason unemployment went down was because of holiday hiring. I hate to be pessimistic,but how else could if fall from 8.9% to 8.6 in just one month? Unemployment claims are on the rise again as off Thursday.
