Rereading your post, maybe you thought my abbreviation of "unemployment rate" as "UE rate" was referring to the "European Union" as "EU"?

I've been looking into this since Friday. I was very unnerved to find that not only has the Birth/Death adjustment been in place since only 2001 and with this adjustment previous admins would have shown far more job growth than they did but that we switched from the standard job counting model that we once used in the early 80's that would show approx he same unemployment as Europe. I can't believe it but apparently unlike Europe we don't count people as unemployed after a certain time frame where they continue counting them. I fell like someone has been blowing sunshine up my skirt for a long time. What in the world does this mean for the “real value of my investments in equities? I think I’m selling some if not all this week. Anyone have advice?
