People should be free to choose what is best for themselves as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others to do the same. I created this blog to discuss issues I have with big government, liberal media,and to talk about my support for capitalism and the Iraq War.

No, because the unemployment figure only counts people who are actively looking for a job, not those who have given up (to be a stay-at-home parent, live off wellfare, move back in with their parents, etc). Employment rate + Unemployment rate does not equal 100%... just one of those confusing technical facts that make statistics so misleading. In fact, unemployment statistics often go down when the job market is difficult, because fewer people bother trying to find a job.
Also, it's over a hundred thousand jobs lost btw. Kinda significant, especially if you consider it in terms of supply and deman on the labor market (reduced demand should mean that even people who have jobs get crappier/lower paying jobs, by basic economic logic).
