In light of the phony unemployment numbers and the enormous workforce "non-participation" rate Dennis Miller makes the droll point that if current trends continue we will soon have 0% unemployment even while nobody whatsoever has a job.
At the rate we’re going we’ll have negative unemployment numbers. Won’t that be great?
Miller is not even being funny. If no one had a job and no one was looking for a job we would be at zero unemployment with the current methods. Even worse, if everyone went to work at a government job and no one worked at anything other than a government job we would have zero unemployment. I have had people look at me as if I were an idiot for saying that government employees should be counted as unemployed and in fact every single NEW government employee should be counted instead as TWO people unemployed but ask those same people if everyone can work for the government and unless they are drooling idiots they begin to see what I mean.
