To put it simply, you are misinformed.
According to the BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics), a government organization, the average unemployment rate in 2008 was 5.8%, in 2011, it was 8.9%. [url="http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsa2011.pdf"]http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsa2011.pdf[/url]
Heck, the most recent data released, October 2012, [url="http://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cpseea01.pdf"]unemployment was at 7.9%[/url]. So while I understand that you (and 51.4%) of the population don't know the first thing about economics or finance: PLEASE, I beg you, tell me that you understand that 7.9% is more than 5.8%?
