If you read it on the internet it must be true.

So the 7.8% number is false when used today by Obama but the "over 8%" number continually used by Romney is correct. When the number goes below 8 the source is not credible?

Guess what folks, those numbers used come from the same source.

So now part time jobs with no benefits now count as full time?

8.2 to 7.8 is bullcrap.
163,000 new jobs in July 8.2%
125,000 new jobs in August 8.3%
114,000 new jobs in September 7.8%
Duh, something doesn't quite jibe here. Oh I forgot, he got clocked Wednesday.

Just to make sure we are clear.

Number > 8% = ok to use in the narrative
Number < 8% = must be fake or skewed

Got it.

Secretary Solis spent the morning defending the rosy unemployment rate that is based on questionable revisions. Upwardly revising public sector employment by tens of thousands of jobs in the report out just after her boss&rsquo;s dismal performance in the first presidential debate.
Solis even tried to suggest that the upward revisions were in private sector jobs, which would indicate a strengthening jobs picture, but was rebutted by her own department&rsquo;s statistics.

This is not the first report full of questionable statistics. As John Nolte at Big Government reported:

Finally, this is the second hinky looking report/revision from the Bureau of Labor Statistics in as many months. Just days ago, 400,000 jobs were &ldquo;discovered&ldquo;&ndash;almost the exact number Obama needed to have a record of creating more jobs on his watch than were lost.Payroll Survey shows slowing jobs growth​

The question remains how many more hidden jobs will be found in the final report before the election due out on November 2nd.

Koolaid Pal.

So when they were revised upward in may (higher rate), what is the explanation?

Gotta love it. 4000+ servicemen come home in a box due to bad intel and the ego of a draft dodging president and this is what breitbart.com writes about?

Typical Demorat response #1 of 2, Bush,Bush, Bush to anything bad, said about their "Anointed One"
Bet you can guess what the #2 response is !

What the 7.8% doesn't take into consideration is the number of people who've gotten fed up with the dismal jobs growth, under Barrack and have given up looking for a job!

Your right Dell about the numbers not adding up Dell.............maybe they use math taught in Chicago !

And no matter what, 7.8% still sucks !

Funny thing is people closer to the issue than you or I are saying the same thing. As for the most part, a couple days from now the real facts will emerge. Isn't that how it usually goes? BLS comes out with some Swazoo calculated stats and they just happen to get blown out of the water in a couple days.
Wonder if anybody over BLS donate to Barack?

But Monday is going to be a bad day for O anyway.

Maybe you can advise me on what, if any bearing on the 7.8% figures released today has to do with something that happened four months ago and what is your point?

 

[Glenn Quagmire]

My point is that you and others are fine when the numbers are revised to make the unemployment percentage number higher. Yet when the revision makes the number lower, you cry foul saying that somehow the 2000 different people involved in the survey all of a sudden conspired to inflate the number.

Is there any conspiracy theory that you do not believe in or perpetuate?

Yep, everyone at BLS is an Obama Democrat hired right after his inauguration.

These aren't real, accurate numbers and you know it.
.6 of 1% and the other with a 400,000 margin of error.
About an 80% chance the figures get revised and bite your boss in the ass.
I argued this issue ad nauseum with Tech2101....do you know him?
