Unemployment …
Unemployment decreased 0.1% and the market rallied. Look at the difference between U3, the gov.’t stat used, & U5/U6The rate is increasing like it did during the 30′s. The gov.’t doesn’t include underemployed and the bigger issue is they don’t include “Discouraged Workers”. The Civilian Labor Force decreased 422,000 (July 09) according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The majority of that stat are people who are “Discouraged” so they are no longer considered part of the supply of labor.

I am reading The Mystery of Banking by Murray Rothbard after I read Ron Paul’s Revolution book. He didn’t recommend this book, but he did recommend America’s Great Depression written by Rothbard. I had already read that one so I decided to find another book by Rothbard.

The only way the …
The only way the unemployment rate could go down with the loss of 300,000 jobs, is if a lotta people died or retired…or just weren’t counted anymore.

I never trust percentages. Too many variables.
