cavanami Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 When the Euro first came out, it was 0.86 USD for 1 Euro. I was in Frankfurt, Germany on 01 Jan and they handed out 1 Euro coins, free, to all there...but the Euro is getting weaker and may be a good time to buy them Do not believe any US gov data on unemployment, they spin it for whatever they need! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon46 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 The White House has little to no control over the agency that puts out the unemployment data. That fact became clear when the former CEO of General Electric, a well regarded figure, made comments suggesting that the White House "cook the books" on unemployment rates.

jitagawn Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 After you have looked for a job for over a certain period of time you are removed from the list of unemployed.... If that's not crooked I don't know what is... :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baa99 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Don't look at it as absolute, but comparative. Obviously the employment picture is better now than at the end of GWB's term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
