US unemployment is way understated.

1) Under the Chimp; the labor pool has actually contracted by almost 4 millon jobs. Add 2-2.5% to the official unemployment figures.

2) Over two million people are in jails. Add 1% to the unemployment figures.

Real world US unemployment = ca. 9%.

Under the Chimp it has taken ca. $6 in new debt to create a dollar of so called economic growth = not a sign of a competitive labor force.
