WHAT YOU WON'T HEAR ON CNN OR CNBC! Real unemployment statistics are not collected. Too embarassing. The poor and unemployed are de-humanized. Real unemployment is 50% above the official rate. 15.6% is a better estimate. That's 1 of every 7 workers in the US now. There has to be a better way to maximize human potential! When was the last time you saw CNN or CNBC interview people wait in line for a job? The fact is that unemployment disciplines workers. It forces them to have to accept any job at poverty wages. And full employment is largely a fantasy. Since 1971, that 38 years ago, there have been only seven years when there was "full" employment, i.e. the rate of official employment was under 5%. It will be years we get full employment again. Yahoo ran a story on 10/20/2009 "High Jobless Rate Could Be Permanent." "The job market is caught in a vicious circle: Without more jobs, U.S. consumers will have a hard time increasing their spending; but without that spending, businesses might see little reason to start hiring... 'I think the unemployment rate will be permanently higher, or at least higher for the foreseeable future,' said Mark Zandi, chief economist and co-founder of Moody's Economy.com." Meanwhile Goldman Sucks just reported profits of 3.4 Billion, after paying saleries and bonues averaging $700,000 per employee. JP Morgan just reported 3.6 billion in profits. Obama's subservience to Wall Street is seen by all. The socialists' view is becoming more and more Main Street's. It is often said that FDR saved capitalism by taming and regulating Wall Streets. Obama should do the same. Wall Street greed is not capitalism. HOW MANY MONTHS' MUST WE WAIT FOR UNEMPLOYMENT TO START TO GO DOWN AND WILL IT GO DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY? SHOULD AMERICAN WORKERS BE EXPECTED TO WAIT THREE YEARS OR MUCH MORE FOR "FULL EMPLOYMENT"? A MASSIVE PUBLICS' WORK PROGRAM SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED NOW. LET BANKERS RAISE MONEY FOR INVESTORS NOW. AND IMMEDIATELY PAY BACK ALL THEY OWE THE TREASURY. AND LET THE PUBLIC PEER INTO THE SWEAThEART DEALS THE FEDERAL RESERVE HAS WORKED OUT WITH THE BANK-HEDGE FUNDS THAT NOW DERIVE ALMOST ALL THEIR PROFITS FROM TRADING STOCKS. by William Schmidt, Ph.D. Other TigerSoft Blogs on Closely Related Topics: 3/7/2008 - Why Is Bush Bankrupting The US 3/8/2008 - Seepless in San Diego 6/30/2008 - TigerSoft's Approach for Job Finders 9/1/2008 - Labor's Untold Story in The US 5/15/2009 - Obama Is 98% Fraud and 2% Backbone

Carter Adm. failed to bring much recovery) DJI rose from 840 and ralled to 872 in July 1975 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 months August 1982 December 1982 Jan. 1983 Gain = 1.0% (Typical 3-4 year cycle broken. No recovery to full employment. ) DJI rose from 1071 and ralled to 1092 three days later It then fell to lower band and rallied from 1030 to 1250 in June 82 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 months November 1991 June 1992 July. 1992 Gain = 3% DJI rose from 3295 and ralled to 3393 in two wks.. It then fell below lower band to 3137 in October and rallied to 3978 in Jan 93 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 months October 2002 June 2003 July 2003 Gain = 4.6% DJI rose from 9217 and ralled to 9645 in Aug 2003 ==================================================================== 7 months' lag is typical. 9 months? March 2009 December 2009 ??????? 10% rally the the next peak before a decline to the lower band. But since 1975, the avg gain has only been 3.2% _____________________________________ _______________________________________ HOW QUICK WILL THERE BE A REAL RECOVERY? Unemployment statistics should start dropping soon. It has been seven months since the stock market turned up. Typically, 7 months after a bottom by the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the rate of unemployment peaks, though in 1954 and 1958 it took a year. The last two recessions, 1991-1992 and 2001-2003, did not bring an improvement for 8 and 9 months after the market's bottom. The real questions should be will there be much of a recovery? And if not, what must the Government do this time around to bring about full employment. If we take full employment to be under 5%, the answer is it could take a very long time. HOW MANY MONTHS' MUST WE WAIT FOR "FULL" EMPLOYMENT, UNDER 5% UNEMPLOYMENT? The statistics below show that it will take years and years before we see full employment. This in intolerable, and even more so, considering the trillions given the very bankers whose greed caused do much human misery. A new economic system that guyarantees employment for all at a decent wage is obviously needed. Employment should be a human right in the US. Three years, if we are lucky, is far too long to have to wait for a job. No wonder 5% own 95% of America! The Democrats and Obama refuse to face these inescapable conclusions. This is disgraceful!
