The Presidential race just ended: Unemployment drops to 7.8%

- by New Deal democrat

You may stop wringing your hands about the debate Wednesday night. The BLS just reported that in September the unemployment rate dropped to 7.8%. 114,000 jobs were added. President Obama was just re-elected.

1. So much for the October surprise...

2. Loving the unemployment number, but with just 114,000 new jobs?

A 0.3% drop with just 114,000 new jobs added?

6. You're Right --

Unless the base was readjusted greatly for some reason, it shouldn't be that high.

10. +480k

Do you guys not remember that a revision of 480k jobs was made a couple of weeks ago and now both July and August have also been revised up. How much more jobs do you want before it starts ticking down. Are Democrats going to start complaining about conspiracies now too?

4. Alternatively the opposition spin on the number is just about to start.

I think we can reasonably expect them to say the drop is a politicized over-estimate, and corrections of the number, which almost always happen, will be called evidence of administration manipulation.

5. Do these unemployment numbers include Romney and Ryan?

...or will they be included in the November report?



edit: grammar

9. Will R$R take credit for it retroactively?

8. Trendimg up & stock market is back up almost where it was pre-recession!

That is a base for solid growth! This includes an additional 418,000 more people looking for work than prior months. This might seal the deal!
7.8 %. The trend is what folks look at. THIS IS GREAT NEWS for the country. Wooo~*~Hooo*~*


If only the repukicans in Congress would have helped the recovery would have been faster. Hope the voters get that or better than get it, feel it!
