Unemployment Rate Drops: Less People on Job Search
 

Jobless figures in Ohio fell again last month, but apparently this is due to the fact that more and more people stopped looking for a job.

The rate in September amounts to 9.1 percent, whereas the rate in August recorded one percent more. The report refers to a monthly survey carried out by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Jerome Kearns, assistant director of the Butler County Department of Job and Family Services, claims that because of the high unemployment, more people look for government assistance, e.g. food stamps.

  As of last month...  
 
500,000 people's unemployment insurance ran out. They are no longer being counted. Next month another 500,000 people will be thrown out on the street, they will no longer exist in the eyes of the government statisticians. This will continue every month flooding our streets with homeless panhandlers. All the government is doing is cooking the books and disenfranchising American citizens, out of sight, out of mind. The job market around here is dead, there is no point of looking anymore. The only people being hired are Doctors and Nurses and Social Workers. If you ain't one, you are screwed.

  Money is worthless anyway  
 
This just forces us the stop wasting and become more resourceful. Funny how when I was growing up the late 70's we did more with less. Now everyone is broke but has min 3-4 pairs of $200 sneakers, and everyone is fat..... So I mean to say looks like we're just thinning out the herd...

Exactly and no one is reporting or keeping track of the REAL numbers of those out of work. It isn't that people aren't looking for jobs, it is that there are not jobs out there that they have the experience for.

Another thing Valk is correct on is the only field that is really hiring is the medical field. They can't get enough of graduating nurses out the door to close the gaps between new nurses and those that are retiring.

I have a few ideas on how to fix the problem, but they aren't popular so I will let those statisticians keep rolling out those false numbers so everyone can sleep soundly in their beds while they still have them.

I'm not sure how the system works in the United States, but in Canada it is generally known what percentage of people are unemployed and currently looking for work, and those that have no job and no desire to return to the work force. Neither of these numbers are hidden or kept from the public, nor are they indicative by themselves of a change in the overall business climate.

* though I am saddened to hear the job prospects are so bad there that it is becoming a driving force behind the lack of motivation to find employment.

Here in America, politicians will do or say anything they consider necessary to stay in office. Right now, the Democrats are getting their big chance, so they can't allow the truth to affect their position in any way. They need this chance to say "I told you so", so they will continue to "cook the books" to try to make themselves look better.

Rule #1 in the United States is "It's always worse than they will tell you", because if anybody besides the politicians knew how bad it really is, they wouldn't continue to get re-elected.
