A shrinking workforce is part of the reason for the decreasing unemployment rate, plus, I suspect, special sauce being used by BLS. As others have stated, the numbers will be managed to show an improving economy and help Obama. The Ministry of Truth will issue regular updates.

I just finished the paperwork for one of husseins stimulus money projects, American Recovery Act or some such nonsense.

According to the forms I “created” quite a few jobs. Of course they only lasted a month and they are all laid off now but it looked pretty impressive on paper.

Smoke and mirrors.

More downward massaging of that number toward the magical 7%.

All hail Premier Hussein!!!

From now until the election the official reported numbers for jobs and economy will keep ticking up... Perception equals reality....

Did they use the number of Unemployment Benefit Claims spin again?

These phony BS statistics are brought to you by the re-elect Barry in 2012 campaign which so far has been funded by US taxpayers. Wait for a week or two and the numbers will be revised quietly back to higher unemployment levels.

1. TeaBaggers and Righties of all stripes are beyond stupid

They're insane. They so easily gulp down Bushshit, and do it happily backed by nothing but blind Nazi-style loyalty to their Fuhrer, but when they receive FACTS from a Democratic president, especially a black Democratic president, it's suddenly all suspicious and untrue.

How do they ever expect anyone to take their idiot ramblings seriously when they have this holier-than-thou attitude against everyone else?

I wish there were a cure for stupid. There wouldn't be a single TeaBagger or Rightie left in the world were that the case.

2. Sycophants for Stupidity !!!

3. I know a lot of right winger types..

Living in exurban Georgia it's hard not to, in fact I can't think of any actual liberals I know in real life.

What's really scary is a lot of the right wingers are far from stupid about things other than politics and more than a few are genuinely nice people.

Things just aren't as simple as we would wish they are.

4. I've noticed that the "liberally-biased media" usually has to add the disclaimer

of "These numbers don't reflect the number of people who have quit looking for jobs" and "For the number of jobs to have any real effect, the new hires must be over X to mean job growth" ...

You know, stuff that wasn't heard in the "liberally-biased media" under Bush43 unless it was on the few shows in the media hosted by an actual liberal ...

5. You ask whose "fake-assed job creation numbers" should someone support? Interesting question! nt

6. Ding ding ding..

... exactly. They are ALL fake bullshit as everyone will see in the coming months. How many of these bogus "trends" have we seen in the last 3 years?

The info is out there if you want to find it. The 200K number is bollocks by about 40K. All of the adjustments that are made make the numbers all but meaningless, and ADP has a solid history of announcing these blips that are not later confirmed by any other data.

Even if the 200K was legit, it is still a tiny fraction of the number that we need to climb back to reasonable unemployment levels. Recork the champagne, this is not news.

7. "Fake-assed" should have been a clue for you, and I did not ask a question...

...but I'm glad you're interested.

You can try to twist what I said all you'd like, but you can't change the fucking words I posted...can you?

8. I don't want to change what you wrote, I think it's GREAT! n/t
