And the population increase by what % in that period? Probably 6-8% How do they keep the unemployment #s down?

I remember when Reagan stopped counting soldiers and sailors leaving the military in the jobless roles. Funny accounting. Unless we grow jobs at the rate of the population growth, more people are out of work even if the number of jobs holds constant.

Jobs numbers this month, still under the rate (157K needed) to simply sop up new entrants into the market.

Yep, those tax cuts for the wealthy and that nasty little war aren't helping enough. On to Iran!
