Officially, Detroit's unemployment rate is just under 30 percent. But the city's mayor and local leaders are suggesting a far more disturbing figure -- the actual jobless rate, they say, is closer to 50 percent.(visit the link for the full news article)
As many have noted, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which culls federal unemployment data, does not account for all of the jobless in its widely-quoted national unemployment figures. Among those omitted: part-time workers who are looking for full-time jobs and frustrated job seekers who abandon their job search altogether.
(For some context, the official national unemployment r

The only way to fix the problems is one that many would not care to support.
It means the entire reform of our nations policies that govern Free trade.
I am afraid that the jobs been lost will never be back in our present political system that supports outsourcing, the WTO and NAFTA and many other job leaching policies.

The government cannot fix the economy, they can only destroy it.
Lack of LAW enforcement.
Enslaving us to perpetual debt.
Creating a fictional non commodity based currency.
Pursuing a cronie capitalist, monopolistic, communist/socialist economic and social system.
What percent of the GDP is controlled by the government? That right there tells you exactly what kind of system that we have.
Like the government can create anything. Government can only try to control and tax people. That is all they can do. The government cannot create jobs. They can only take things from one people and give that to another. Period.
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republic tried this system. How did that work out?

As we all know by government numbers the leeching of jobs started with the implementation of global policies like NAFTA and Free Trade, no only that but since NAFTA we have lost million of jobs and the immigration problem has gotten worst.
Even with this been a fact our morons in government still want to pass more free trade agreements to further drain Americans economy
Now in congress is new trade agreements with the nations of Columbia, Panama and South Korea.
America Government and politicians keep propping up economies of
developing countries at the expenses of our own dying one.
Who can possibly benefit from this? its obviously not us the tax payer and unemployed, but corporate American and their greedy private interest in government.

Your response is the answer to your question, petting each other and blaming the illegals is going to solve the problem (NOPE)!!!!
that is your answer to all the woes, instead what you should be concerned about is the MILLION upon millions of jobs outsourced to other countries by the government and CEO's.... the Illegals have nothing to do with the job losses, but logic isn't what you want to hear....
Keep petting each other and it will all be better..

You are so right is not funny, When NAFTA and Free trade where enacted the mentality of the morons in government along with their greedy benefactors in private interest told the lie that America will be the thinkers and innovators while the rest of the world will switch into production.
Well the production part became a reality with the rest of the world, but when the US rank in math and science in the slowest compare to developing nations in our educational system obviously we are not longer innovators and thinkers.
We are spenders base on debt.
