So unemployment figures for November show joblessness at just 10% from 10.2%. And this is "welcome news" since President Obama is planning on a major "job creation push."
Everytime I read anything about Unemployment, I wonder about the spin put on the figures and in whose interest is it to put that spin on those figures.
David Simon, creator of "The Wire" and a former reporter, called it "jukin' the stats."
Apparently I'm not the only one who suspects the "numbers." Catch this video before it goes viral (well, maybe...posted at 410 views)

What I find even more difficult to accept is that the unemployment rate for the 16-24 age group is at 48%. Business Week published a very good article about it. Isn't wonderful how they cut scholarships, and refuse to hire young America...But expect us (I say us because I am in this group) to pay for Social Security when everyone is older?!
It's horrible.
