The trend is good! This 'real unemployment rate'
Post# of 65629
The reason it gains NO traction is because most people who know about both rates also know that the same relationship of one to the other pertains in both Dem AND GOP administrations
Romney did NOT famously say that he would get the 'real unemployment rate' down to 6% by the end of his first term.
He projected, unambitiously as it turns out, the same rate Republicans always use when they have the Presidency.
