Get ready to see a spike in the unemployment numbers because suddenly these people are counted again.

Didn't we discuss this last week? Unemployment compensation does not figure into calculations of the unemployment rate.

The way Obama counts it doesn't but it actually does. All these people that have been dropped out of the system, which is why the numbers dropped, will suddenly be added back into the “unemployed” but in the workforce once they refile.

What they may try to pull is increase the participation rate from the current record low to equal the numbers of new filings to give an illusion everything is fine.
