You know that it was Richard Nixon in the sixties who had the Bureau of Labor Statistics begin to get selective with reporting unemployment stats. Prior to that it was a more honest read.
FACT is that under the SAME parameters we use today, the unemployment rate when Obama took office was about 10%, double what it is today.
Yes, I know economic conditions in the US ain't what they used to be and there are LOTS of factors at play in this scenario.
