if Biden tries the “we’re turning a corner” thing using the unemployment numbers, I’d expect Ryan to smoke him by pointing out all the irregularities, the massaging and the fact that the upward revisions were 100% government jobs (private sector revisions were downward by 5000 jobs)
If Ryan is as on top of the stats as Romney ... he’ll smoke Biden for sure.
“This is not what a real recovery looks like. We created fewer jobs in September than in August, and fewer jobs in August than in July, and we’ve lost over 600,000 manufacturing jobs since President Obama took office. If not for all the people who have simply dropped out of the labor force, the real unemployment rate would be closer to 11%. The results of President Obama’s failed policies are staggering – 23 million Americans struggling for work, nearly one in six living in poverty and 47 million people dependent on food stamps to feed themselves and their families.” - Mitt Romney 10/5/12
