The U.S. unemployment rate probably rose in October as employers stepped up hiring only slightly, underscoring President Barack Obama's vulnerability in next week's presidential election.

Employers likely added 125,000 jobs to their payrolls last month, according to a Reuters survey of economists. That would be up from 114,000 in September, but would fall short of what is needed to quickly cut the jobless rate.

The media is crooked. The Chicagobama gang is sinister.

not sure if the numbers will be fabulous-

But it does not matter to the MSM- just heard on ABC-
THAT AN INCREASE IN UNEMPLOYMENT is a SIGN of an improving
ECONOMY!!?? total BS- flat out lie-

Glad I did not have a shoe handy- or my flat screen would
have been toast-

Another reason for me to STOP listening to the MSM

That TURNED MY STOMACH to read that headline.

“People are without jobs - how will this affect Obama?”

You know, the 80’s were called the “me decade”.
These people are sicker yet. They’ve turned from self-worship to antichrist worship.

Looks like Bloomberg released the old ADP statistics. They had 171,000 jobs created. I thought ADP revised it down to 121,000.
