Some people bust their humps trying to get ahead, and others are happy to be carried along.

That America created only 88,000 jobs in March, less than half the number anticipated, was jolting news . . . there was more disturbing news. In other words: Unexpected!

We’re just not printing paper money fast enough.
We’re just not taxing and regulating the businessman enough.
We’re just not giving out enough freebies.
We need to extend unemployment benefits for life.
We’re not clamping down on the energy industry enough.
We’re not confiscating retirement funds fast enough.
Government is just not big enough to take care of all of the people.

I have a question, you may judge if it is worthy of this thread or not.
My neighbor is a county worker. Last year he chose early retirement and then recieved his same job back, thus collecting his salary and his retirement each pay day. My question is; given this is not a random instance, how does this affect the unemployment numbers?

He should not show up on unemployment numbers since he retired. His job would likely be counted as a “new” job when he went back to work. This was common in our state government until an investigative reporter did several stories on several people that retired and went back to work in their old job. When people found out it was happening they raised a stink and put an end to it here. The feeling is that if they want to go back to work after retirement they need to take an entry level job and not go right back into their old position. Most declined to do that I am pretty sure.

I pose this question:
Do we trust the people counting the total job force?
Don’t ignore the fact that without that figure falling the reported unemployment rate would be well north of 10 or 11 percent. That would not be good for Obama and the Dems. So the motivation to cheat is certainly there.

Here' is the "real" unemployment rate (U6) and it dropped to 13.8% in last weeks report:
