His standard response, I believe...

I seem to recall them saying this same thing for the previous two months if I remember right. So at what point do three monthly jobs report become a trend that trumps "a single jobs report"?

Right, and if it had been good they would have been all over it.

Three shows a recession. Don’t pay attention to the man behind the curtain.

Seems as though this job report was set up in the media to justify QE3

Bast**d!

How bout the homeless reports? We don’t hear about those until a republican is in office. Same as jobs reports.

Um, yeah, sure thing. Right-o. This one job report must be an outlier, right?

Red Badger, you beat me to it.

ilgipper, love your idea. I’d add in all the times when they use the word “unexpected” or “unexpectedly.” I think it would be hilarious (but sad).

The unemployment rate “unexpectedly” went up this month.... How many times did we hear that? Or the number of new jobs was not as high as “expected.”

We’ve got some real geniuses making these predictions. Even the weatherman has a better record than these guys. I think we could do better with a dart board and a drunken blind man.

Fine, I’ll ignore this one, and ONLY look at the past 4 years.

This disguises an immense danger which people are ignoring. That is that any numbers that are reported are ESTIMATES, based on some computer model such as a meaningless birth/death adjustment (business life cycle), time-of-year adjustment, etc. Then the following month they adjust the initial numbers.

We have one more monthly jobs report before the election, and that one will be the most important one going in to the November 6 because most recent.

WHAT IF the Obama administration gets the agency to report, in early October, a major turnaround of say 400,000 new jobs, so that Obama gets an artificial boost, and then that gets "adjusted downwards" in November when it's too late?
