Since 2002 unemployment has gone down, so obviously new jobs have kept pace with the workforce. Also the current level of unemployment is low. I'm not sure we've had sustained levels much lower than today's since we began keeping the official statistic.

First of all, unemployment has not be going down steadily. Like the crime rate it dropped a little then stopped. Secondly, it doesn't measure those who are entering the labor force for the first time and can't get jobs. Thirdly, it doesn't measure those people who got benefits for six months but couldn't find a new job during that time......so they just fall off the charts.

So what do you think happens to the those people who can't get jobs?
