What I meant to say was 300,000 people fell into the "discouraged worker" class, no longer looking, which is currently estimated between 10 and 12 million people. Of course, their unemployment is long expired.
All you have to do is do the calculation for all the months the Bush economy hasn't kept up with job demand. To Republicans, those people don't "count".

WRONG! The unemployment figures DO NOT COUNT the "discouraged workers", the ones that could not find a job and stopped looking. 300,000 of those fell off the unemployeed rolls for this last count.
