The numbers are much higher.
When the government releases the monthly inflation rate, the price rise of
foods, and fuel is not factored in to hide the true rise of inflation.
Go to John William's shadowstats.com and get the complete picture.
Also, the unemployment figures are much higher because after the
unemployed uses up all their unemployment benefits and unable to
find a job, they are no longer counted as unemployed and disappear
from the statistics.
I can go on, but leave it with these examples.
