T6000 - People like you and Obama actually believe that number. There is a record number of people that have given up looking for work that are removed from that 4.9% calculation. It's voodoo accounting. 

So Gee, people have absolutely given up, so the # of people looking but NOT EMPLOYED (This number goes down)/# of people working = Unemployment % that's lower! That's the reason why Democrats lost. They think everything is hunky dory based on faulty data. Keep believing that and you'll have the alt-right continuing to grow in influence.
