... according to trump, unemployment was as high as 42%
Not true, Trump said that he "heard" that unemployment was 42% so don't spin Fake News that you are so notoriously doing here because of your "I hate Trump campaign."
This is the third time you have thrown this out here so hopefully it is the last time I have to explain it to you so it will stick in your liberal brain.
Before you call us pathetic I suggest you do more research on your bogus claims by telling the whole story.
Is there any plausible way to come up with a jobless rate at those kinds of levels is the question here?
There is, and it's right there near the top of the monthly jobless report.
Only 59.6 percent of the United States population was employed in January of 2016 when President Trump took office..
On the other side of that 40.4 percent of the population was not employed.
If that Trumps definition of unemployed, if so the United States does have 40 percent unemployment.
But keep in mind that this counts as unemployed every retiree, every college student, everyone who is unable to work because of a disability and every parent who voluntarily stays at home to raise a child.
Now we pathetic's can find a way to spin it to make the unemployment rate seem even higher.
Another way to get a jobless rate of about 53 percent would be to instead of just including people 16 and above, the way the B.L.S. does, we could throw in those good for nothing Snowflakes children who are neither working, looking for work nor counted as part of the labor force who live in their parents basements.
THAT is what President Trump was referring to.
Next time save your "I HATE TRUMP" spin by including the rest of the story.
