here is some real truth on unemployment straight out of the 2017 us budget they say unemployment is down but if you read this they say it is up .


Helping Workers Who Lose Their
Jobs and Reducing Job Loss

The Budget proposes a cost-neutral suite
of reforms to strengthen and modernize the
Unemployment Insurance (UI) program. UI
provides critical income support to unemployed
workers. But after cutbacks in coverage by
States and broader changes in the evolving
economy, fewer than one out of every three unemployed
workers today receives UI benefits,
the lowest level in half a century. The Budget’s
reforms would address this by providing coverage
for more workers—including more part-time
workers, low-wage and intermittent workers,
and workers who must leave a job for compelling
family reasons. The Budget would also
help unemployed workers get back to work more
quickly; reform UI to help prevent layoffs; make
the UI program more responsive to economic
downturns; and shore up the solvency of State UI
programs so they are prepared if unemployment
in their State rises. In addition, the Budget establishes
wage insurance to help workers make
ends meet if a new job pays less than an old one
while encouraging workers to get off the sidelines
quickly and stay in the workforce. The goal is a
modernized, well-funded UI program that better
serves the diverse set of workers in today’s economy
and better supports economic recoveries.
