This is a joke for two reasons: 1) They don't raise their subscription price, yet keep claiming ridiculous inflation. Their subscription numbers don't change enough to keep up with what they claim either. 2) "The seasonally-adjusted SGS Alternate Unemployment Rate reflects current unemployment reporting methodology adjusted for SGS-estimated long-term discouraged workers, who were defined out of official existence in 1994." Is misleading. http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/1995/10/art3full.pdf http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/1995/10/art3full.pdf "27 weeks +" includes those people. http://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cpseea35.htm http://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cpseea35.htm http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t12.htm http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t12.htm You can see it in these charts. They weren't "defined out of existence". They just aren't in the U-3 numbers.
