There is something odd that’s been occurring in the national statistics regarding employment and unemployment in America — and one half of that oddity has been reported. The press has spent a great deal of time and energy informing us about the decrease in employment in America since George W. Bush became president, and even in the past year while the economy has been in mild recovery. What they have neglected to report with as mush vigor is that at the same time, paradoxically, unemployment has been decreasing as well.
