I notice it is at a 30 year low. Does that mean that people are just going off of unemployment, and not working?

Yes, as far as I know that's exactly what it means. Isn't that a fun fact.I know it may seem bad now, but it's not as hard to get a job as what that statistic suggest's. we are a lazy country.

The actually unemployment rate is around 20%;
The unemployment rate only counts those drawing payments soon as they run out
of benefits they are no longer unemployed and count anymore.

It seems that our government has re-worded II Thessalonians 3:10 to say "If you don't work you shall eat better than those that do".
