Of course, they've been hiding things for decades. You didn't think that was a new development did you?

yeah, but as long as they continue to "hide" the same things and are consistent, we can look at the numbers relative to one another and get an idea about what is going on. that's kind of the point.

the way the unemployment rate is calculated doesn't matter nearly as much as whether or not the bls is consistent in its method of calculation.
