This is not news. And its not surprising that Barron's is repeating a number in Oct that's been out there for nearly year........just before the Midterms. After all, Barron's is owned by the one of the Republican overlords. But you go ahead and drink up their koolaid. ;-)

That's pretty close to shadowstats..... The exclusion of "discouraged job-seekers" is just such BS! It always tends to undercount the real impact unemployment has, the better to make incumbents "look good".....note also the divergence in the shadowstats (blue) line and the official (red) line in the past year.....unemployment is especially undercounted the longer a recession/depression lasts. By design.....

Obama Omits "Creator" from Declaration of Independence -- AGAIN whitehouse.gov Wednesday, October 20, 2010 Remarks by the President at a DSCC Dinner in Rockville, Maryland October 18, 2010 8:03 P.M. EDT THE PRESIDENT: ... I want to, before I begin, just say that, Maryland, you are graced with two of the finest senators in the United States Senate in Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin. (Applause.) We are so proud of them. Everything that I've been able to accomplish over the last couple of years has been because I had these great partners. And these are two of the best partners, and they were also wonderful colleagues when I was in the United States Senate. And so I am just truly blessed to have them with me. Rajeev’s introduction was so eloquent I almost don't want to add to it. But I think that he touched on the essence of what this upcoming election is about and what this historical moment is about. Most of us here came from someplace else -- or our parents came from someplace else, or our grandparents, our great grandparents came from someplace else. And they were inspired by a particular idea, this idea of America. As wonderful as the land is here in the United States, as much as we have been blessed by the bounty of this magnificent continent that stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, what makes this place special is not something physical. It has to do with this idea that was started by 13 colonies that decided to throw off the yoke of an empire, and said, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that each of us are endowed with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
