Of course the unemployment
Of course the unemployment rate went down. After 26 weeks your done. You don't get anymore. Then it looks like that person got a job. When in fact they didn't. They just can't collect it anymore. They only count the ones getting the unemployment not the ones that get cut off and can't collect anymore.
