Dear Sir,

The change in the method in which the unemployed are counted took place back in the 1970's. Richard Nixon was President at the time as I recall. My thought when they did it was "My, my, what a convenient method of cheating this will become. So now we can no longer trust the official unemployment number." (Inflation always having been a "funny number", of course.) To my knowledge, the method of counting the unemployed has NOT changed between 1992 and now. So we are comparing apples and apples, even though those apples be rotten.
