"""In 1994, under the Clinton Administration, the Bureau Of Labor Statistics (BLS) changed the methods in which it calculated the levels of unemployment in the U.S. While the changes appeared to be minor on the surface at the time - the impact today is likely far greater than originally imagined.

and please save the idiot speak you want to spew about unemployment under bush as a rising unemployment rate is far more accurate than the current lowering rate because the newly unemployed are all being counted.
