The Truth About The Unemployment Rate

The truth about the real unemployment rate in the United States is that is a lot higher than the 9% that the government states. The truth is that it is around 27% the way they come up with this 9% number is on how many people claimed their unemployment benefits. They don't take into consideration on how many people have used up all their unemployment benefits and still are not working. What needs to happen is they need to find out how many people are not working in total not how many people are not drawing benefits. Why the government does things like this I have no idea, but if we do not start seeing things in this country the way they really are there is no way to fix our problems.
