“Thank you very much for recognizing me and allowing us again on a Wednesday evening to explore the interesting question that has certainly been much in the minds of Americans over the last couple of years; that is, the situation of jobs and our economy.

So the real unemployment rate is probably higher. That is a reason for people to be concerned, if you have a job. If you don't have a job, it is not a matter of concern; it is a matter of a serious crisis.”
