I got 10 right too. I missed the unemployment average. I put 15% instead of 10. Have no clue who colbert is and dont really care. Good test that everybody should be able to get at least 8 or 9 right unless you live in a cave.

Oh no. That was a pretty easy one. I got tripped up on the unemployment rate because all the stuff I read says its closer to 16 or 17%.

It depends on how you calculate the number. The official number is around 10%, but it is closer to 17% when you include "discouraged" workers; i.e. those who aren't looking for work any more because they feel there isn't any and it is a waste of time.

The government plays the same game with the CPI index (inflation or so they claim). This is an interesting page, regardless if you agree with them or not. They tend to take a worst case measurement. E.g. unemployment includes "long-term discouraged workers."
