8.2% and yet the number of people who aren't employed rises to a record of 88 million, Hmmmm something just doesn't seem right with those numbers.

When you are not going to count all the people unemployed ( see the record low labor participation rate) does it really matter what you say the unemployment rate is?
If unemployment was really going away, people would not be so down about the economy or the government .... the people know they are being lied to ..

omg i am agreeing with BT. They need to count all the unemployed, NOT just the ones getting benefits.

is 8.2% the number of unemployed/under employed people or is that the number of people collecting unemployment benefits?
once a persons benefits END, is that person still being counted towards that figure?

No, they are no longer counted even though they are still unemployed ... we have seen a massive drop-off of those being counted as the 99ers have dropped off the UI rolls even though they are still unemployed

well then there is your creative math in a nutshell. if they arent counting ALL the unemployed/under-employed then they are giving a BS figure for the majority of the people to count as the gospel truth.

What most people ignorantly don't realize is that the agency which determine unemployment % openly disclose the caveats, and give other figures/facts to paint a comprehensive picture of the job situation.
So it's not their fault you don't have the 'right' information. It's your fault for not listening to all they have to say.

Most likely it is 12% or higher unemployment.

Don't be dumb and take Zerohedge at face value.
As much as the media skews things to the happy side, they skew it to the gloomy side.
If CNN says 10 and ZeroHedge says 20, average the numbers out for the truth.
