Ever wonder why when you read about the unemployment rate it doesn't quite match up to other news items such as the economy? Do you feel disheartened or frustrated when you read or hear that the unemployment rate is low but after a year, you still can't find a job? It isn't you!

Join host Sabina Sulat as she sits down with CNET reporter and editor Laura Michelle Davis to shed some light on how federal and state governments need to improve how they define and report on unemployment.
