I am not talking about paying. The Department is paying less, but my point is related to the figure of 9%, which Mr. McKeon quoted moments ago. Notwithstanding that there is a recovering economy and it is easier to get a job, we are dealing with the long-term unemployed. It should not be seen in the same way, but the Department does see it that way and it builds in the discount.
