Last week the government proclaimed the wonderful news that the jobless rate fell from 8.3% to 8.2%. Great. What they didn't tell you was that to achieve that statistic they simply stopped counting 1.2 million unemployed who have dropped off the radar and atre simply not working/not looking for work/effectively disappeared. There are fewer working now than last month. That's the ugly truth. There are fewer working now than in 2008. Plans by corporations for job cuts are up 28% from last year.
And your union is holding out for a better deal?
What's wrong with this picture?
