Your reporting on unemployment isnt correct. You lead the country into thinking everything is getting better. But what about the people who are at and past their 99 weeks of unemployment? They still dont have jobs. Where do they fit in your story? Its just really sad what people fall for in this country. If your going to do a story do the whole story and not just bits and pieces!!!! Trust me when I say the only reason I watch is because my local news proceeds this show they call World News Tonight. What a joke!

Think back to your high school economics class to find the answer...

- If they are still actively looking for work, then they're still part of the labor force and are already counted in the "unemployed" stats.

- If they've given up looking, then they've voluntarily left the labor force and thus don't count as unemployed.
