If the “Unemployment” rate is dropping, is the “Employment” rate (currently in the general neighborhood of 60%, lowest it’s been in 30 years) rising?
If so, it’s actually good.
If not, it’s yet another accounting scam.

Are you kidding? If this were any old poll, that would be an enormous sample.

If one reduces the assumed workforce by a large enough number, the unemployment rate will eventually approach zero.

U6 unemployment was 14.7% in August and 14.7% in September. No change.
Alternatively, how about -- employers (like Obama buddy Clarence Otis's Darden Restaurants Inc.) are cutting employees back to 28 hours per week, so they are exempt from Obamacare coverage?
This would require an employer to hire nearly half-again as many workers to cover for those hours. Since the Federal minimum wage for tipped employees is $2.13/hour and they're now going to be taxed if they don't buy their own health insurance -- I'm unsure that this is great news.

I cant even GET unemployment, my company wants to keep me around and manages to find me 8 hours a week and that exceeds the unemployment amount, I keep filling out the "continued claim form" , running out my eligibility clock but drawing zerOs
my business is so specialized there is no where else to apply for a job unless I want to try and trade carreers into a related field
been barely holding off the wolves for four years but they are starting to close in and I am running out of ammo

Total Crock of Shiite.
It’s a statistical sampling of 30,000 households benched against nearly 150 million “possible” workers.
It’s not even at the level of meaningless.

If and when Mit gets elected one of the first things he should do is undo all of the intentionally false and misleading ways and means the Obama administration has put in place for counting the "unemployed" in order to "cook the unemployment book" numbers. He should reinstate HONEST and TRUE methods for getting to the bottom of reporting the ACTUAL unemployment and under-employment numbers. That way the MSM can't say: "Look how bad it has gotten since Mit took over." Once his administration knows and reports the actual/REAL number that is the base line his administration along with the American people should work from and work with in order to undo the massive damage Obama, his policies, his administration and his minions have brought about.
This step alone would go a long way to restoring TRUST in the White House and the American government's reporting on unemployment figures. It would also remove a powerful mime tool the MSM and the DemocRATS who are out of power would seek to use in order to clober Mit over the head: "See, when Obama and we were in power, unemployment was coming down, but LOOK HOW BAD THINGS HAVE GOTTEN SINCE MIT TOOK OVER."
I would get to the bottom of the REAL unemployment figures and report those numbers to the American people ASAP because no one, except for brain-dead, kool-aid drinking Obamabots believes the BS the Obama admin is spouting regarding these bogus deflating unemployment numbers.

Well, I think some of the more fortunate ones are actually earning slightly MORE in a year...than they used to earn in six months.

What state are you in? If you are making so much that working 8 hours a week exceeds the max unemployment benefits I'm curious what your state's max benefits are. Most people will qualify for partial benefits if they had been working 40 hours a week and were involuntarily cut down to 8 per week.
