Oh, yes, Lillian...as my Statistics professor told us the first day of class:
"There are lies. There are damned lies. And there are statistics!"
Like unemployment stats, when they state that employment is up and less
people are out of work - they neglect to say that a good number of those
people are only working part-time or temporary jobs and will again be
UNemployed in a few weeks or months.
The whole question in my mind always comes down to WHO are those people in
the favorable numbers. THAT's where the truth lies. -chris
