remember one in six americans today is either unemployed or underemployed. which means those who have jobs become more cautious and spend less because they see how many people are unemployed. >> susie: exactly. and we know this is not a quick fix. everybody says that. so if congress can't do much, and the fed may not be effect tiff in all of this. how do you improve the job market and the housing market where we continue to see massive foreclosures. is it just a matter of a waiting game? >> susie, what you say is important. it is about jobs. it is about housing. it is about structural change. this economy is going through a fundamental change, and it's very important to bring in the different agencies of government, with the federal reserve, in a room and have a common objective, have a common analysis, and then have the political support for a comprehensive solution. >> susie: now, you're talking about here in the u.s. i know you're in washington today at the annual meeting of the international fund. where there are hundreds of world leaders and finance min

when you lose over 8 million jobs you have a lot of people who are underemployed as well. it's not just job losses but all the peripheral stuff. you're seeing the broader employment rate go back up to its recent high of a little over 17%. this is all because we are digging out of a huge hole. >> people listening to 17%, you're talking about the number of people who don't have a job or underemployed. >> called the real unemployment. >> statistics are a little imprecise but the picture is clear. we have a huge hole we're digging out of. we're digging out slowly. when they say the recession ends, all that means, it doesn't mean anything great is happening under your feet, it's just that you've moved the economy into the recovery room. anyone who has made it into a recovery room, it still hurts a lot. that's where we are now. we're slowly slogging out of that. private sector jobs growth getting nine months in a row, that means something. that's not about simply stimulus, that's also about employers being scared that if they do not increase their capacity, which means hiring an

if you have individuals unemployed, underemployed, concerned about healthcare costs going up or businessesoncerned about dropping healthcare and to put people on the government plan that is being rolled out, there is a lot of concern with people. and a lot of the polls are saying people are not as enthusiastic as two years ago and they may not vote whatever change they voted for is not the change that they expected. people are concerned about many, many things. >> especially with women. it's so strange to me that we would have as we had in 08, such a huge revolt against one party, mainly because of a guy who ran the country for eight years and then two years later, you are going to have an opposite revolt? it doesn't make sense. >> the revolt we had in 2008 was against the policies. you are not having that kind of revolt now. you are having huge disappointment that the economy did not move. and in fact, maybe the president misinterpreted what change meant. because he put all these things -- tried to do all the things at one time. but i'm telling you women, women hear the tea party people a

. >> what about people who are just underemployed, meaning that they -- >> we don't count them. good point you're racing here. if you included people that we call involuntarily part time -- in other words, i want to work part time, but i'm only working five hours a week at a fast food, deli -- if you included them, then the number would break through 18%. they're working a little bit, so we don't count them. that would give you the biggest number. the issue is why do they not include all these other people in the number that gets out there. one other number in there. i know you make fun of me all the time. >> i have some numbers of my own. >> the other number that matters is the average duration of unemployment. then what you're saying to people is when you've been unemployed for half a year, getting back into the work force gets harder and harder. the number is we have 9.5 million workers who have been unemployed for over half a year. you fwraek that down more. if you're over a certain age and unemployed for that long, boy, does it get harder to get back into the work force, so

clearly there's a job retraining issue that is going on with the unemployed and underemployed. it's not like you want to build news centers. >> so the white house is hoping, though, by obviously hosting this event, they have a goal of 2020. explain that to all of us. >> what it is is president obama is hoping that the u.s. is sort of getting the lead again in having a college degrees. whether two-year degrees or four-year degrees and get the world's lead again by 2020. and community colleges are the more affordable way to speed up th that, particularly for immigrants. first families with children going to college for the first time in their own families. things like that. but there's a reality here that wasn't talked about -- it was talked about a little bit today, but not much. a lot of the community colleges are state funded. right now states are in acrisis when it comes to the budget. okay, where are they going to get the extra money? one of the other things we're trying to do today was also get more corporations to be willing to have partnerships with the community colleges

if you add all of that together-- the unemployed and the underemployed-- it's not 9.5%; it's 17%, ande in california, it's 22%. >> ...families with small children. >> pelley: and what makes it so much worse is that, nationwide, one-third of the unemployed have been out of work more than a year. that hasn't happened since the depression. >> welcome back, my friend. there you are. >> pelley: this is the soup kitchen in san jose. many of the folks here used to think that they could see all the way to retirement. but now, long-term unemployment is wrecking years of saving and planning by people like lisa and doug francone. doug was a $200,000-a-year personnel executive. you must have thought that you'd get another job pretty quickly. >> doug francone: yeah. it really didn't cross my mind that i wouldn't find something. the question was trying to take the time to find the right job. >> pelley: you'd have a job in six months, a job that you liked in six months. and how long has it been? >> lisa francone: two years and three months. >> pelley: they'd saved for retirement, and college for the

now, dig deeper and we find there are nearly 27 million americans that are underemployed. here's what that means, they have been forced to settle for part-time work but prefer a full-time job, or they have stopped looking for work altogether. take that consideration and the rate jumped to 17.1%. >> yeah, we don't want to go there. who is it, lynn, having luck out there in the job market and who is being left behind? >> we have the 95,000 total jobs lost, so we'll break that down. we have the private sector that actually gained 64,000 jobs, but that was the weakest showing since june. and we'll get into that in a minute, but the economy lost 159,000 government jobs, about half of that at the local level. now, most of those local government jobs were in education, that means teachers who were laid off with the school year ending in the spring, but the payroll was when they were on in the summer. that's why the layoffs are showing up now. and this was the biggest cut in 28 years. so obviously, the big question, where are the jobs and who is hiring? that's what everyone wants

we cannot afford to have a country for 26 million people out of work or underemployed.orld country. >> mike: ben, i think we might agree there has to be some infrastructure rebuilding in this country. but part of the issue was a lot of the so-called infrastructure projects really weren't infrastructure. they were pet projects that members were going to get that didn't really build a rail, didn't expand an airport, it didn't decongest a clogged highway. >> i'm amazed when i hear people complain about the american airports. i travel almost every day. american airports compared to european airports are marvelous and magnificent. i'm surprised at that. the infrastructure projects are a way and will only employ a few hundred people with millions spent. i live in north idaho in the summer and they spend $160 million on a bypass for a town of 5,000 people. that is absolutely to me inexplicable. i agree entirely. ariana made a brilliant point. we want our children safe and bridges safe. that is a very good point. infrastructure is way to stimulate employment. >> mike: ben and g

states when you look at the real unemployment numbers, upwards of 17, 18%, when you include the underemployed those that have given up looking for jobs, really high unemployment. bush tax cuts set to expire across the board. the president seemed to lay down the gauntlet saying he was going to play the class warfare card, seemingly that was going to be vote that made the difference for them and created a comparison, what happened? how do you leave town without voting on this? >> we had the vote, democrats and republicans in a bipartisan way to extend the rates. nancy pelosi decided not to have the vote because i'm going to lose. i've got two brothers that are unemployed. i've got two brother in laws that are unemployed. i understand what is going on in america. iced to be a small employer. with all of the uncertainty out there -- coming from this administration and this congress and the policies they are advocating every employer in america is scared to death they are locked down. until the uncertainty begins to clear you are not going to see the economy improve. one of those uncertaintys is t

it's not just the current unemployment, which is 26 million people out of work or underemployed it'sround the country, there's a huge anxiety among people who have jobs, worried they're the next to go. >> so, are you hearing that people believe that the administration has responded forcefully enough or in the proper ways with respect to jobs? >> while i'm hearing is that there's a sense of urgency out of the white house, the kind of urgency that existed when everybody came together, republicans, democrats, and saved wall street. we don't see that urgency around jobs. and yet, people everywhere are feeling the pain. i talked to many people here in atlanta who have jobs but whose brother or sister or son or parent does not have a job anymore. so the pressure on the family to actually support a member of the family that's lost a job is also weighing on people who are still employed. >> and is that without question, arianna, the number one issue in the election, jobs? >> yes, i think it's the number one, two, three, four, issue, this is it. jobs and the foreclosures. people are strugglin

two years later, 30 million americans either out of work or underemployed and the numbers are rising. america's biggest corporations hoarding cash instead of investing in expansion. specifically when it comes to the origination of small business, you can forget it. lending for small business is down an incredible amount. look at the line. the big banks find it mar more profitable to gamble with the money or lend it to china while sticking taxpayers with losses they might incur along the way. they collect the bonuses. why would you lend to american business when you can take american money to china or gamble it between each other? until that changes the opportunity for investment, the opportunity for the extraction that's going on will continue and jobs, dare i say it, will be scarce. our first guest today, james, economics professor and author of "the predator state how conservatives abandon the free market and how liberals should, too." pleasure to have you here. what do you mean by your title? >> it describes pretty much the situation you have just referred to. a situation in which

the real unemployment rate including people who are underemployed or gave up looking rose to more than0 percent last month, that's one in six people in the workforce. fewer people working means fewer people spending. as a result, the core inflation rate minus food and energy equals zero. if it drops below zero he warned me we could be facing inflation. with goods and services getting cheaper is terrible for business, who would want to buy something when the price could drop tomorrow. the fed's answer is to increase the money supply and making credt even cheaper at encouraging business and consumers to borrow and spend more. lower interest rates will help borrowers but not savers. savers are not as likely to get certificate deposits or on savings bonds. train and a decision 2010 kron 4 is committed to helping you make an informed decision as of a number of leading up to the election were talking with the candidacy to be more reformation on the positions trip craig takes a closer look at proposition 27. these are the shaped districts that critics say take away voting power from some memb

if you think about who benefits when unemployed or underemployed workers moved, it is not just benefits to people who relocate and are more likely to get a job. that reduces the amount of excess supply of labor in places like flynn. people who remain behind are benefiting. one unemployed people in flint are making decisions about whether they should move, they're not incorporating the benefits to others and that creates an opportunity for the government to become involved in moving closer to the optimal amount of mobility. the rationale for intervention is similar in a lot of ways to the reason the government was involved in the student loan market for college. >> one thing that we put to the authors is the proposals would increase productivity, wages, employment growth. not just in a particular community but at the national level. i want to propose -- ask you to focus on that. are you saying for $500 million or $800 million, we can increase gdp? >> it is not clear we could. this is not the thing that will double gdp in the u.s. this is in the flavor of an incremental and feasible inter

so, it's pretty much double what the unemployment rate is. 9.5 million americans are underemploy in this country right now, looking for fulltime work. they can't find it. and what's interesting, wolf, is when you talk about the 9.5 million number, that's increased by almost 1 million in the last two months. so it's not just a high number, it's the fact that the number is getting steadily worse and worse when we're supposed to be seeing some sort of economic recovery. we need the private sector to add jobs and much more than 64,000 jobs in a month. unless these big companies add jobs, we won't see a turnaround, wolf. >> they're not doing it yet. wall street is doing just fine right now. i want to put some numbers up and we'll talk about it. the dow today closed above 11,000. first time in five months. closed above 11,000. just some perspective. president obama was sworn in january 20, 2009, nearly two years ago, the dow was at 7,949. all right, it's gone up. almost 3,000 points or so. since he took office. give us perspective. wall street seems to be doing just fine even as the jobless nu
