Occam’s Razor Explanation: The spate of states and localities hiking their minimum wage has skewed the results.

[xzins]

Want to bet they changed how the do the numbers?

[Grampa Dave]

Yep, and Illiarily had a problem with pneumonia at the NYC 911 event and was cured after a visit to Chelsea’s apartment.

[NEMDF]

Well, then, we should start to see millions of people coming off EBT and other public aid, any minute now, right?

[LS]

How badly are they torturing this data?

[RckyRaCoCo]

...is every-body happy!

It’s election time. Just like in 2012 with the unemployment figures, one should take these with a grain of salt.

Liars figure, figures lie. It’s a sad day when the unemployed and out of work professionals who have endured this administration have to read bull crap like this. It’s a kick in the **** for them.

And let’s not forget the displaced under paid workers earning half of what they should be because of these lies. I bet the coal industry workers are really happy to see these numbers too!

[OttawaFreeper]

Agreed. I guess we all now should be as rich as that guy Rodney Dangerfield played in “Caddyshack”, lol. That’s why the medical basket case has to be President.

[MichaelCorleone]

Do they just count those who own a home? If they do, then all those people who went broke and lost their homes would not be counted. Ergo, skewed results. Skewed to make things look better than they are.

But, I don’t know. Government has never lied to us before.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

And the temperature increased by the fastest pace on record in 2015 too. It must be Global Warming!!!

[al baby]

Game pieces don’t count

[Eddie01]

Wait till the next Obamacare “tax” hits.

The term “Broke as a Joke” comes to mind.

[Mad Dawgg]

All the people who used to own a house and lost it due to having a low household income have been moved out of the equations.

No house and no job means you don't count in household income figures any more...

:D

[jetson]

When overhead is higher income has to be higher. Middle income families are working two jobs to cover the cost of...OBAMACARE!

###Do they just count those who own a home?####

This is a good point and I’m curious to find out what they skewed to come up with this -— All I know if I’m making less and less year after year in sales (take home) because of all the rise in healthcare, food, taxes, etc.
