Then how come I read yesterday that another 28% of jobs were lost in the midwest?

[ryan71]

Look for the media to paint a very pretty economic picture for the next 9 months. VERY pretty.

[alicewonders]

WHOO HOO!!! We’ll be back to 5% unemployment by next fall!! WHOO HOO!!! /mega uber sarc

[ClearCase_guy]

I heard David Axelrod on the radio this morning praising Obama for his accomplishment of 22 straight months of positive job growth.

I couldn’t believe it. But they lie shamelessly.

[G Larry]

This manipulation of the numbers will persist, but I expect the truth of continued unemployment will be apparent to the voters this fall.

[backwoods-engineer]

More propaganda from the BLS and the mainstream media to try and get their man Barry Soetoro re-elected. They don’t look at how many people have PERMANENTLY exited the full-time employment market. I know a biologist who works at Target because she can’t get a job in a pharma lab, which can’t be missed in this area by the proverbial swinging dead cat.

[CaptainK]

No matter what the media says, everyone knows more than one person whose been unemployed for over a year. Or has dropped out of the job seeking market and has given up looking.

[ilgipper]

Watching this false drop in unemployment is revolting. We are going to be lied to for the next 9 months about how great things are, when things have never been worse in our lifetime. Let’s hope voter’s are not fooled. We have less people employed now than a few years ago.

This is the equivalent of celebrating a 2% cost of living raise when the actual cost of living is going up 4%. We are losing ground, but are supposed to celebrate the progress.

[txrefugee]

Everyone knew that BO would scam the jobless number and have it below 8% by
Nov. It’s simple. Just take millions of workers who have exhausted their unemployment checks out of the labor force. It may be below 7% if enough workers are no longer counted. This is BO’s Alice-in-Wonderland labor policy and his enablers in the msm will publicize this phony “good news”.

[ScottinVA]

Sounds like the numbers are being very artfully manipulated to get that UE rate down to 7% by November.

All hail Socialism!
All hail our Dear Leader!

[Travis McGee]

At least the Obamanoids can count on MSNBC for positive spin.

[andy58-in-nh]

Hoe did they do it?

1.2 million people dropped out of the labor force in one month.

That's how.

The civilian labor force is now at a 30-year low of 63.7%.

[andy58-in-nh]

How did they do it?

1.2 million people dropped out of the labor force in one month.

That's how.

The civilian labor force is now at a 30-year low of 63.7%.

[zzeeman]

Of course, a record 1.2 million people dropped out of the labor force in one month! And the civilian labor force crashes to a new 30 year low of 63.7%. That's how they get their bogus “unemployment rate” to drop on command. More gubmint BS.

[Jack of all Trades]

And 1.2 million people dropped out of the labor force last month

[Ulysse]

Too late NObama biased/owned MSM !

No one(except a bunch of brainwashed libtards) sane believes you

[Huskrrrr]

I wonder how the “Obama stash” lady is making out?

[trebb]

Cool - pretty soon there will be so many jobs that we can all get second jobs, which we will need to make ends meet if the “good news” continues.

[SF_Redux]

because they are hiring more people to take on the masses at the welfare offices

[TomGuy]

8.3%

Yeah. Right.

If the BLS/Team Obama can continue to manipulate a modest 0.2% drop per month, they will get it magically to 6.9% by November.

The visions of sugar-plums [that shoo-in election] the GOP had dancing in their heads just a few months ago is rapidly dimishing like a puff of smoke.
