Error in Unemployment Rate

When researching Honduras's Unemployment Rate I kept Getting a rise from 12% way up to 30% and then somehow all the way down to 3.2% and 5.1%. So i looked into it and many informational sites have those same figures. I realized after reading an article - Here from Honduras Weekly - that those figures are wrong and Unemployment is skyrocketing and is currently at 51%. They believe that it will soon reach 70% and higher if the economy continues as it is. The problems they had with their former communist leader, Manuel Zelaya, seem to still be present as their current leader, Porforio Lobo Sosa, tries to piece the Honduran economy back together without the help of the OAS (Organization of American States). Still Countries are boycotting Honduras and President Lobo as to not notice him as the president of Honduras.

In 1998 Hurricane Mitch hits Honduras directly and becomes the most deadly Hurricane in 200 years. 

"At least 70 percent of crops destroyed, including 80 percent of the banana crop. Crop losses estimated at $900 million. Large warehouses and storage rooms for coffee flooded. Maize and corn crops devastated. The damage by Mitch to Honduran agricultural production will take years for recovery."

Here is a graph of Supply and Demand before and after Hurricane Mitch. 

The supply dropped greatly so naturally the demand is greater. The crops are still recovering from the devastating storm. The banana crop is at about 57% of where it was before the hurricane.
