That's off the books employment. The unseen economy. These are on the books jobs that have disappeared during the survey period. The unemployment number is driven by people filing for unemployment compensation. Undocumented people CAN'T DO THAT YOU MORON! What the hell he means by "breakeven point" is beyond me. Whaaa???!!

Ass-ett is doing his best Baghdad Bob imitation. Or perhaps Kevin Bacon in Animal House.
