How accurate are the economic statistics that we are told by government, banks and financial institutions? Are some of these numbers faked to help re-elections of politicians? Professor Dr. Richard Wolff explains to Thom how shrinking unemployment doesn't always mean rising quality of life, and how the inverse relationship between desperation jobs and the economy works and what effect it has for everyone.

The Thom Hartmann Program covers diverse topics including immigration reform, government intrusion, privacy, foreign policy, and domestic issues. More people listen to or watch the TH program than any other progressive talk show in the world! Join them.
