Unemployment Confusion: What's the Real Number?



With Friday’s release of the June unemployment numbers, experts say new fixes need to be evaluated.  Bill Wilson of Americans for Limited Government says jobs are not growing based on new entries to the labor market



Wilson says a more accurate count of unemployment puts the number at 10.9%, but adjustments bring it into the 8% range.  80,000 U.S. jobs were added in June, while 150,000 is widely viewed as the necessary amount to maintain economic growth.
