3. This is just the tip of the iceberg
These stats are cooked like crazy...

They don't include anyone who's "quit looking". They don't include part time and underemployed workers.

The scenario is that they just include folks who just filed claims for unemployment...

ya' hasta have a job that's covered under unemployment insurance for that...

This really means that a larger number of mcjobs than normal have been terminated...

Most of us have been living in a recession for over 15 years now...
