Captain Obvious is considering nuking these propagandists from orbit. It is the only way to be sure.

I know many folks working off book (less then minimum wage) just to make ends meet. Their unemployment has long run out and they are on the government dole (EBT, etc).

I doubt these folks are counted.

5.5%?! And Bill Clinton didn’t inhale...

[Rodamala]

Unemployment in the U.S. has dropped to a seven-year low of 5.5 percent

I started to giggle... and then direfted my eyeballs up to look at the source and saw AP and I just lost it laughing.

US job market faces hurdles even with 5.5 pct. unemployment

Double it and you're coming closer to the truth.

[Auntie Dem]

In 2007-2008 the leftwing media were hanging George Bush in effigy when the unemployment rate was 5.5%. Double standards? Nah!

[RC one]

5.5% my ass.

If everyone is back to work, who is getting all this welfare money? The lies never end with this president.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

93.7 million Americans are now “not in the job market” and excluded from this complete.

That number has been going up, month after month, after month.

5.5 pct. unemployment

             

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Associated Press? Wow!

[bert]

In days gone by. 5.5% was full employment. America is now at or very near full employment.

The 5.5 % include those between jobs and those that are chronically unemployed. In days gone by, at 5.5 % it was necessary to wink at illegals to insure there were enough workers.

Obama is a plague that must be eradicated

[octex]

How can the media keep a straight face and pretend to be serious while reporting the lies about unemployment for so many years during the Obama admin.?

Real unemployment (U6) has steadely gotten worse under Obama. Over 40% of able males are without jobs.
