o'unemployed - statistics not o'lies

• 146 million Americans are living in poverty, are broke or are low income.  (CNN Th.15Dec11)
• The federal government's unemployment figure is a distorted and understated 8.6% in that it ignores nearly 6 million unemployed no longer job seeking. (http://www.bls.gov/eag/eag.us.htm)
• 600,000 +/- seasonal jobs will rejoin the 'unemployed' after the New Year.
• Some economic pundits place the true unemployment figure between 12% up to 20%!  (FNC We.14Dec11)
There are pockets of U.S. unemployed estimated to exceed 32%!
