Some tweeted me about declining unemployment rates ... suggesting things were better ... they may be?!
When the unemployment rate goes down however it may indicate fewer are being reported or counted simply because they are discouraged and not looking for a job. This also explains when things improve why the unemployment rate can go up. Looking at job gains or losses ... those jobs gained or lost can be tricky too since not all jobs are the same!
