We're in agreement. You are making my point for me.

Having stated that unemployment was low, I had to use the generally accepted unemployment standard (which has inherent obvious flaws; of which I was fully aware of), as a baseline for the sake of consistency. I don't think accurate figures are documents for the 'actual' unemployment. Even if I found them from a source, then they could easily be picked apart for including/excluding X, Y, or Z.

To avoid 'this' I referred to the generally accepted standard; flaws and all. :-/.

My friend, at this point you surely realize this. ;-)

Now I do. LOL. I thought you were defending their figures.

Seeing red, were you? I figured. Lol!

Not at all. I don't get riled up unless I'm super tired or tired of trying to explain to someone who doesn't want to hear but wants to argue. Neither was the case here. Just trying to clarify where I could. Nothing is as simple as is often stated. Often I end up learning something to revise my perspectives, or even change paradigms.
