We are petitioning the Press, U.S. and State Governments, and the Director of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Management and Statistics to re-state the Un-Employment Rate as the Employment Rate. By doing this, we desire to create a shift from typical negative reporting to more positive reporting on this key statistic which is too politicized.
Why is this important?
Over the years, I have grown sick and tired of the negativity of reporting overall with the clear intent to sell advertising to sponsors to get viewers to "tune in". Recently, Obama is getting beat up by the news networks about having an 8.2% unemployment rate. While JOBS and the ECONOMY are all important issues, I would like to start a petition to re-state the "Unemployment Rate" as the "Employment Rate" of 91.8%!
