After reading the Washington Post's story on job losses today, this one seems bland. The concept -- that no one really gives an accurate gauge of unemployment -- is laid out well, but it's nothing I haven't seen elsewhere.

Very informative report on how the currently low unemployment rate of 6% doesn't include 'discouraged workers' who have given up looking for jobs. According to this report, the real unemployment rate is closer to 10%, and the job situation in the U.S. is a lot worse than it has been at any time since 1994. This excellent report provides extensive factual information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to back its points, and goes further than others in exposing this important discrepancy.

Daniel Gross has hit on one of the biggest and least-acknowledged issues of the American economy. Underemployment has long been a problem that has stayed 'below the radar' because the standard data don't capture the information. In this story, Gross cites the numbers, to the best of our national tracking ability. And he ends with a profoundly accurate--if unnerving--conjecture. This may be one of the biggest problems in the US economy.

This seems very opinionated and poor journalism. You never start sentences with "And". The title is in bad taste as well!
