The Metro TMZ crew wanted to get a clear
explanation on how the unemployment rate is figured. Lo and Behold, after
traveling to heaven, Bob Hope put the reporters in touch with Bud Abbot and
Lou Costello, who explaned it perfectly.
COSTELLO:
I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America.
ABBOTT: Good Subject.
Terrible Times. It's 9%.
COSTELLO: That many people are
out of work?
ABBOTT: No, that's 16%.
COSTELLO: You just said 9%.
ABBOTT: 9% Unemployed.
COSTELLO: Right 9% out of work.
ABBOTT: No, that's 16%.
COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 16%
unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, that's 9%...
COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 9%
or 16%?
ABBOTT: 9% are unemployed. 16% are
out of work.
COSTELLO: IF you are out of work
you are unemployed. |

ABBOTT:
No, you can't count the "Out of Work" as the unemployed. You
have to look for work to be unemployed.
COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF
WORK!!!
ABBOTT: No, you miss my point.
COSTELLO: What point?
ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look
for work, can't be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn't
be fair.
COSTELLO: To whom?
ABBOTT: The unemployed.
COSTELLO: But they are ALL out of
work.
ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are
actively looking for work. Those who are out of work stopped looking.
They gave up. And, if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of
the unemployed.
COSTELLO: So if you're off the
unemployment roles, that would count as less unemployment?
ABBOTT: Unemployment would go
down. Absolutely!
COSTELLO: The unemployment just
goes down because you don't look for work?
ABBOTT: Absolutely! That's how you
get 9%. Otherwise it would be 16%. You don't want to read about 16%
unemployment, do ya?
COSTELLO: That would be
frightening.
ABBOTT: Absolutely.
COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question
for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment
number?
ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.
COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down
if someone gets a job?
ABBOTT: Correct.
COSTELLO: And unemployment can
also go down if you stop looking for a job?
ABBOTT: Bingo.
COSTELLO: So there are two ways to
bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to just stop
looking for work.
ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like
an economist.
COSTELLO: I don't even know what
the hell I just said!
ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like a
politician. |
