NUMBER EMPLOYED:
The Bureau of Labor Statistics in Linden’s opinion provides us with a ton of totally worthless numbers. As an example, they just quit counting some of the millions of unemployed who “drop out of the labor force.” Using that approach you can easily show, if you choose, a dropping percentage of those considered to be unemployed while the actual number of unemployed is rising. Perhaps it would be more meaningful to look more closely at the total who are actually employed. We know that U.S. population continues to rise so it follows that the total who are employed must rise to keep even with the unemployed percentage. After years of rising employed during the Bush years, it leveled off at roughly 138 million for the 06-08 years. Upon the election of President Obama it immediately went into freefall being about 131 million in March of 2011. It, hopefully, bottomed at about 129 million in February of 2010. Remember, the total must continually rise to account for increased population. The Obama years have been a disaster…are you partially responsible?

OTHER STUFF:
After a largely sleepless night, I remained in bed until 8:00. Shortly after, I was enjoying biscuits and gravy at Chick-fil-A. Then, on to a grocery and the post office. Read the mail, did a bit of writing, and exchanged notes with Julie. In the evening, dinner and program attendance at church.
