Unemployment for July 07
Folks, it's bad out there. The only jobs available are sales and creepy companies you've already worked for. Online you find nothing but sales, and folks looking to scam you out of money while you are struggling to find work. People promise to hire you and never call back. it's depressing. Look at the data below, keeping in mind folks like me arent even in the stats nor are folks who have given up. Does your government care.....?

Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data) Nearly 1.4 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) were marginally attachedto the labor force in July, down by 146,000 from a year earlier. These individuals wanted and were available to work and had looked for a job sometime during the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. Among the marginally attached, there were 367,000 discouraged workers in July, about the same number as a year earlier. Discouraged work-ers were not currently looking for work specifically because they believed no jobs were available for them. The remaining 1.0 million persons marginally attached to the labor force in July had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey for reasons such as school attendance and family responsibilities.
