S. employment numbers on 8 March,  2012.  I directly quote the numbers in my website and then comment.   Note that nearly 42% of the employable U. S. population is not working, not 8.3% of the official rate or about 17% more inclusive unemployment rate (unverifiable).  Furthermore, the number of full time workers could increase byover 114% which in real numbers is over 126 million people idle or working part time.  Also only 36.2% of the whole population work full time and about 1/5th of all workers are part time. This notes tremendous slack in U. S. economy.  Further, I include the changes from the last post of this site. www.bls.gov For those who haven't read it, the sections "Further Discussions" are short works of only a few paragraphs.   http://explode.freeshell.org.htm   My main economic reform treatise is:   http://explode.freeshell.org/econ.html It scares me to claim that I've solved poverty with the reform - sounds too arrogant to say (that).  Read my site and decide.    Regards,  dv.
