Well, let's see. The unemployment rate in the United States is currently 9.1 (down from last year!). The United States population is 312,414,000. That means 28,400,000 US citizens are unemployed.

With 3,200,000 job openings... even if they ALL got filled, there wouldn't be much of a change made. 3.2m from 28.4m... that's going to lower the unemployment rate from 9.1% to 8%. Woo-hoo. Still have 25,000,000 unemployed.

That's not how unemployment is calculated.

yea you do realise that a percentage of the total population is either retired, a baby or at school or rich enough not to work going off total population is stupid
