This is where you'll find the real unemployment numbers locally and nationally. The lowered numbers are nothing but political fodder.

The fact that governors like Rick Scott of Florida are taking credit for this is absolutely ridiculous. It's pretty simple math - deny 1.6 million Americans Unemployment Insurance and the rate will drop. I'm embarassed I live in a country where people are so illogical they can't see this, and those reporting anything but this fact should be ashamed.
