Reason For Today's Unemployment Rate Plunge: Part-Time Jobs Surge
ZeroHedge ^ | 10/5/2012 | Tyler Durden

We already noted the absolutely stunning surge in reported Household Survey jobs which "added" 873,000 jobs, or the most since 2003 and the second most in the past decade, which was just a little bit off the Household Survey used in the monthly NFP jobs changes, which came at 114,000, or about 8 times less. But what was the reason for this epic jump in Household survey jobs? Simple, and those who have read our series on America's transition to a part-time worker society know the answer. The reason is that the number of part-time people employed for economic reasons soared by 582,000 to 8,613,000, the most since October 2011, and the largest one month jump since February 2009....

Doesn’t matter. All the networks are reporting as if Obama surrogates.

Even the news readers between Rush Limbaugh breaks are pure propaganda.

We will be putting up with this for the next 4 weeks. Any time Romney has a good day, the media and the Obama regime will make sure something happens to change narrative.

The unemployment rate announced today is supposedly based on phone calls to households, some 60,000 to be exact. That, and that alone, is what accounted for the so-called uptick in part-time jobs.

Yet, the business survey of 140,000 businesses conducted during the same period resulted in numbers being unchanged from the previous survey.

What’s more, the number of new jobs remained unchanged at 114,000 - same as last month.

Bottom-line, the BLS got the living L kicked out of it to come up with the bogus 7.8% in a desperate attempt to prop up chairboy.

This is criminal fraud , an October surprise and the media keeps reporting it as truth.This is lies from Obama ‘s corrupt government. Obama’s government agency
magically found biggest number of jobs in 29 years, almost 900,000 jobs to lower the unemployment rate by redefining what is a job or who is working:

Total employment ‘highest one-month jump in 29 years’...

There is NO WAY that employers are going to hire full time workers right now, with ZeroCare rules starting next year, unless it is repealed.

As far as possible, they are going to hire ONLY part-timers.

Employers are hiring ONLY part time people now due to ZeroCare rules coming into effect.
