I will note this thread the next time you claim consumer confidence numbers mean nothing.
31 Jan. 2012
The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index®, which had increased in December, retreated in January. The Index now stands at 61.1 (1985=100), down from 64.8 in December. The Present Situation Index declined to 38.4 from 46.5. The Expectations Index edged down to 76.2 from 77.0 in December.
United States Consumer Confidence
You just refuse to answer so you can deny them when they dont say what you want to hear
This is what you asked for but you are questioning mewhy is it impossible you answer my question?
Is that group trustable to provide important information on our economy?
yes or no is all it takes.

You know what a better indicator of what is going right in the individual Americans lives?
The consumer confidence number.
You see if a family has someone who stops looking for work and yet still sees improvement in their lives then dropping of the unemployment rolls could be a possitive thing in their lives huh?
When a family member decides they DONT have to work so that family can live a comfortable life then that isnt bad is it.
How do you sus that out?
Consumer confidence numbers.
How are those numbers doing now?
How is it that these families find they can live so well and comfortably and NOT work? Exactly? Is there a secret formula?

yes or no is all it takes.
Here's what you asked for you did not comment on the link but posted something didferemt

quit making things up, you're embarrassing yourself. I already gave links showing you're wrong.Dude...
Obviously you're ignorant to how the unemployment rate is calculated..... Either that or you have the mental capacity of a 2nd grader.
Unemployment Rate = Number of Unemployed (those actively on unemployment)/ (divided by) Total Labor Force
Nope, unemployed is defined as actively looking for work. Employment Situation Technical Note
Receipt or eligibility of benefits has NEVER been a factor. I
I like how you flat out ignored the links that showed unemployment for the rate and benefits aren't even close.
WTF is wrong with you?
No - the statisticians and our government define those "actively looking for work" via those actively on unemployment...U
I suppose acknowledging that is step 1...
"Active job seekers" are those who are currently receiving unemployment....
Because I wasn't the one that wanted their numbers you were.. So what happen to that December boost in the economy? Why has it dropped? Could it be like I told you it was Christmas and and most people if they have plastic are going to buy their children Christmas gifts. Remember that conversation you and I had? WE even discussed bankruptcy. In march because people spent money in December when they did not have it.Is that group trustable to provide important information on our economy?
yes or no is all it takes.

I trust their numbers.
i have already said it and SUGGESTED them as a good source and I have the post to prove it.
Why are you doing EVERYTHING you can think of to be uncooperative instead of just saying yes or no?

(emphasis mine).People are classified as unemployed if they meet all of the following criteria: they had no employment during the reference week; they were available for work at that time; and they made specific efforts to find employment sometime during the 4-week period ending with the reference week. Persons laid off from a job and expecting recall need not be looking for work to be counted as unemployed. The unemployment data derived from the household survey in no way depend upon the eligibility for or receipt of unemployment insurance benefits.
Of course not. Assuming they're still looking for work, they're unemployed. If they stop looking they'll be not in the labor force. If they die, go to jail, join the military, get committed, or leave the country they'll be out of the population.So those 80,000 people who just lost there unemployment they employed now?
Stop it. If they are no longer getting a check the government can't keep track of them,. I bet unemployment rate will drop next BLS.

If there is no record kept how do you know one way or the other?
No deflection. I gave the links. You refused to read them. If you had, you would have seen nothing to confirm your claim (and you still haven't even tried to support your BS claim) and specific wording refuting it.quit making things up, you're embarrassing yourself.
