Paul Craig Roberts served as Assistant Treasury Secretary under Ronald Reagan. Yes, he is a staunch conservative, but I often read his articles because they are very informative.
According to Mr. Roberts, the Bush Adm. and large corporations are lying to the public about the job market and the unemployment rate.
In the article, Roberts states January 2006 was "the 61st month that the US economy has been unable to create any jobs except jobs in domestic nontradable services, most of which are low paid." He goes on to say the unemployment rate is much higher than reported because the job numbers do not include the many workers who have given up looking.
