FALSE

It's a lie........

The percent might be true but what the numbers really are is they DO NOT show those that gave up and went on welfare.
They do not count that, so in fact it makes their numbers look good.

Always bewarey of anyone spouting percentages and numbers at you, most always what is unseen and uncounted are more important.

Always remember the words of Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)-
"There are lies, damn lies and statistics".
Watch, in the next week to ten days, those figures will be adjusted....probably downward.
Our real unemployment right now is somewhere between 16% and 18%, so maybe the TRUE NEW FIGURES SHOULD BE AROUND 14%.

I'm just curious, is this a job report covering July/August? Reason I ask is that time period is when the seasonal summer jobs may have affected the report.

If that is the case, then they are done now in the fall.

With all factors in 22%.

I remember when gov't made a similar claim in 2010 when they hired all those temporary census workers to enrage the public with all those probing out-of-line questions harrassing everyone to fury.

Yeah, write home to mom about your secure new job...not.

POLL:

WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent last month, dropping below 8 percent for the first time in nearly four years and giving President Barack Obama a potential boost with the election a month away.


True

or

False!


I call BS! As soon as my phone alerts started going off this morning about it....I was like..that's a bunch of bs lies!

But oh how convenient this "looks" for Mr. Obama!
 Quoting: Texas2012


the way you have it written/ask is inccorect...I do believe we added 114K, we need 125K MINIMUM for a growing economy...so I would have to answer true.

We all know the real reason is that many people are not eligible for unemployment since they have been out of work so long. Unemployment figures use the number of people that actually make claims and in which the gubmint actually send checks to...clearly it is easily 11% in actuality.

don't forget obamma is using his math.

let's say he goes to a company that has 100 workers,
and they all have worked there10 years, his math
100 x10 = 1000 jobs he has either created or saved.

I was amazed listening to the radio today, and reading news sites how many people actually believe the government.


Manipulation is just one of the obvious ploys of this administration and these numbers today are just bullshit.


50 years ago the press would have posted that on every major newspaper across the country.


BULLSHIT

You can move and change and get the numbers where you want, but contracting the number of jobs available to get the numbers where you need them is just fucking dirty.


Shame on this administration.
 Quoting: FatalW1shes


it is amazing to me that there are obamabots who actually think that going from 8.2 unemployment to 7.8 unemployment is something to celebrate.

even if someone was stupid enough to believe these numbers they are not good news.

Of course it's a lie. There is no new industry that is hiring people left and right. Old industry has been moving out to cheaper shores for a long time, and nothing has reversed. Small towns are being boarded up at a record rate. Lies. Nothing but lies.

If the numbers were true, the Dow would be at 14 bazillion right now. Obviously investors didn't buy it this time, it was even too blatant for even them.
