No problem, this is a simple solution. Let's go back and recalculate unemployment for the past twenty years, then we will have a level playing field so we know where we really stand.

Better look into this Richard, the way unemployment had been changed so many times as of late it's hard to keep score. I think it was Clinton that added the military to give himself a boost when he needed it.

I'd personally focus on the labor-force participation rate, which includes people working and looking for work. This has been at about 63 percent in recent years, well below the 66 percent that prevailed before the recession. That may not sound like a big difference, but that extra 3 percent would take the number of officially unemployed people up to about 18 million from 12 million.
And that would jack the unemployment rate up to about 11 percent

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
