broader measures? Show me the numbers! If you say there is a broader measure, it implies that there is a narrower measure.

So, a meter has 100cm. I use it as a yards stick. It is not relative. It is absolute. (In 1983, it was redefined by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) as the distance travelled by light in free space in 1/299,792,458 of a second.) We Latino like precision we don't use pieces of the human body to measure things, which is an Anglo stuff.

Now to measure unemployment there a yard stick made of rubber. It can be broader and can be narrower, Then you tell Elmat that it is well into double digits.

Ok, I understand it is a complex matter. Then the numbers stop being used and there are some terms that defies definition.

Marginally attached. Involuntary part-timers. Then there are numbers again. 16.4% which in April was 15.9%.

Well, apparently you missed myt posting: Statistics are lies too!

Well, for a country who had a president defining sex it does not surprise me, that people use this as having any meaning whatsoever.
