The number will keep climbing. Why? It was already projected to due to changing demographics and changing labor markets. Oh but I know. Cue anti-Obama tirade in 3....2....1...

I would like to know, how they know if someone as actively sought a job in the last 4 weeks.
90 million is almost a third of the population.
That would mean that unemployment is nowhere near the 7ish% they say it is.
