It is thousands.

You can get this graph and a lot of other data at this link

http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/surveymost?bls

After you check the data you want and submit, a page comes up that has a table. There is a check box at the top that will graph it for you. Click it and resubmit.

I hope you are right, and you probably are, that Obama and his minions are playing games with the numbers. While I have never seen (anecdotal) an environment like this since perhaps 1982, it IS different in that people get benefits MUCH longer than then, and there are more benefits. Also, I can’t tell you how many people I know who’ve been on disability for decades, with seemingly nothing physical wrong with them. I believe some of the unemployed are getting disability, when they might not have in the past.

I think one major difference between now and the GD, is then, we had a future. The family was intact, people believed in more than themselves, the govt was smaller AND we had WWII to look forward to /half wry comment

We were also a creditor nation then. Now, we are stealing from the future so pols can get re-elected. In many ways, while we may not be worse off NOW, I think our future could be pretty bleak.
