The Facts behind the Rates


To:--Truthout.Org

Re:--Unemployment Rates and Facts

I don't know why everyone keeps on talking about this spurious "unemployment RATE". Who caress about the rate of job loss? The important figure is: what percentage of the (available) work force is not working?

That figure is between 16% and 18% of the work force.

Not only does capitalism seek to alienate the worker from the surplus value of his labor, it seeks to alienate him from knowledge of his own lumpen suffering.
