I don’t Get the Unemployment Rate at 7.7%

What is the real unemployment rate?

I keep hearing that the unemployment rate in this country is getting better. This is what I don’t understand, there were 146,000 people that got jobs for the month and yet 300,000 folks left the job market. Someone needs to explain to me how this is an improvement.

The spin with these numbers are such a farce. I hate to tell you, but the employment numbers in this country are not getting any better, if anything worse.
