All of my life we've tracked unemployment by the same figure. Always. Why in the past few years have some people suddenly starting saying "figures are falling because people have given up looking". Well, people stopped loooking 4, 8, 10, and 12 years ago, yet oddly we never discussed this.
I'm not republican, I'm not democrat. The unemployment rate is falling. Obviously - it's not that Obama is doing such a grand job, but more because unemployment rose to unheard of heights and will continue to come down so long as the President and Congress don't do anything stupid.
