Every month they count how many people who apply for unemployment and the number keeps going lower and lower. Why because all the long term unemployed are not eligible to collect passed 99 weeks. So the long term unemployed are no longer counted in there figures. And it looks like things are getting better from there fake numbers. But we the unemployed know there numbers are bull crap. So I say, all the unemployed should file for unemployment so we are counted. Then there numbers will be in the millions and they can't hide that. I know we can't collect but maybe then they can't ignore us anymore. long term unemployed apply for unemployment here be counted

14 months ago: Yes I also agree and plan to support the National March for jobs. As to your comment, I actually spoke with a very nice and helpful lady at the unemployment office who suggested that i continue to file my unemployment even tho I was not eligible. I also continue to receive papers in the mail reminding me of my next filing date and it states at the bottom that payment is not issued because of not being eligible for benefits therefore, I would still be INCLUDED IN THE PERCENTAGE RATE OF UNEMPLOYMENT. I appreciate her advise and have continued to file since December of 2010 and still keep records of all job contacts. I do believe it would be helpful if everyone would continue to file. I would like to post this anywhere or every where over the internet. However, I am a newbie and am just learning after a few months how to surf the internet.
