They never are, so what's the point? There are also people who are simply unemployable. There are some people who are able to work but won't and aren't counted (stay-at-home parents, for instance), but that they aren't counted doesn't mean things are horribly worse than the numbers show.

They often do not factor in the number of people who are no longer eligible to collect compensation and are therefore jobless, broke, and uncounted.

I'm not one of those people who looks at the job creation during the nineties as a great accomplishment (so were all those huge profits back then, huh Enron?), but by any standard, for an economy struggling to get back on its feet, these numbers are disappointing.

Meanwhile Fox has this as its 12th story, right under "6 found dead in Fla. home". Its first stories obviously are "terra, terra, terra" mixed with terra arrest, anthrax, and that Hacking guy. hmmmmmm. Makes you wonder. Ironically, it is pretty low on the list at ABCnews as well, but perhaps thats just because its the lunchtime cycle and its old news already. But certainly, 6 dead in FL is more important than reporting that the president lied AGAIN about jobs!
