Unemployment rate officially 9.8% (really 17%)

Voltron says: Over a quarter of a million jobs were lost last month.
If you include people forced to work part time and "discouraged
workers" who have been unemployed so long that they no longer get
counted, one million jobs were lost and the true unemployment rate is
17%.
