They have always been wrong. Check the math closely this time.

Magically the number falls to 7.8 and when Obama took office the number was 7.9.

Rush called this months ago. The number of “government” workers started going up the last few months.

PHONY AS THE DAY IS LONG!

This is one of the many tricks in store for the next month.

I doubt (at least I severely hope) that the people will not be fooled by these manipulations.

Last week, the story was different. Unemployment claims rose last week.

Final September numbers would not be available yet. I bet these are preliminary.

Is it true 750,000 dropped out of looking for work last month, helping to reduce the UE number?

Only 114,000 jobs added, yet the rate drops from 8.2% to 7.8%.

How many hundreds of thousands dropped off the rolls to get to this number?

They have overplayed their hand with this. This discrepancy is so large, people will be forced to focus on the internals.

What a LIE. And I don’t always get tough on these things....but think about this.

Forecasts said we would gain about as many jobs as the report found and STAY at the same unemployment rate.

Well, guess what....the job gains were almost spot-on yet somehow we have a huge drop in the rate?

This is a LIE or it s simply caused by people stopping looking for jobs.

Yes, this is very suspicious. Remember what happened in 08 the moment McCain and Palin went ahead in the polls? Does anyone think that (the financial crisis) was a coincidence?

One report said "there have been several mid-year revisions." LOL!! So only 114,000 jobs added, but the nomber of unemployed fell by over 450,000? Where did those 350,000 people go.

This is Orwellian. The road to banana republic status starts with corruption like this.
