People are coming off foodstamps in droves. Its actually getting better... like for real...
Agreed the numbers are still cooked.
the unemployment rate can be deceiving. it can increase for bad reasons, i.e. people losing their jobs, but it can also increase because more people start looking for a job again who had given up on even trying during the recession.
the number of people on foodstamps and the number of hours worked are better measures for how well the economy and the job market are doing.
