Welcome to the Real Unemployment Numbers survey! We always here about the unemployment rate in the US and how it's supposedly declining. Is it really?

There is a lot of debate on what determines the unemployment rate numbers provided by the department of labor statistics so in order to get something a bit more accurate (and with less bureaucratic nonsense) we'll be asking real Americans to make sure they are counted!

If you're a stay at home parent or retired you don't have to answer but if you're looking for work and can't find anything or even if you can and don't want to, we want to hear from you!
