With these REAL numbers (coupled with the working poor), US is looking more like some of those "Third World" countries we like to feel sorry for. By the way, I love the "Cool Graphics".

Just how much sugar coating is going on with these numbers to make it look better than it really is. Keep an eye on these things, would you please Liz, and give folks an update every so often. Just curious - how does Minneapolis rate with other major US cities for unemployment? We've got some baddies out here in CA. I notice that the REAL unemployment rates are not gven out too often.

Thank you for pointing out the "real" unemployment rate. That's a very eye-opening statistic. Great post, Liz. Thank you for pointing out the “real” unemployment rate.
