Considering that Roy Ruffin my economics professor in college spoke to it years back...I dont know how much a myth it is.
However, it may not be as much a factor as some my think. I tend to believe the rate is an accurate one and good economic news...not trumpeted by an MSM that hates the current administration.
Thanks.
In Hoc.
Best let Prof. Ruffin know that unemployment compensation, and whether one collects it or not, is not a factor in determing the unemployment rate.
