A poll by Investors Business Daily finds the US unemployment rate at 31% with 47.9 million people out of work.

Shadowstats has unemployment at around 24%.

Methodologies differ and the details are unavailable.

Big numbers are exciting.

Our official figures in the UK show unemployment at around the 11% mark... but the real figure is between 30-40% nationally and up to 60% regionally depending on where [like where I am!]

You think they share methods on how to make the numbers turn out right?
