Chris is a good example of what smoking crack for an extended period of time will do yoo your brain
Kids it ain't worth it.

When people answer facts with personal insults, I know I have won the argument.

Apology accepted, Captain Needa.

There is no other explanation as too way you post the shit you post. Smoking crack has to be the reason.

He's a dick.

His only joy is in trying to piss you off.

Let his sorry ass be.

“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. The choice in this election is clear. Under President Obama, we’ll get another four years like the last four years. If I’m elected, we will have a real recovery with pro-growth policies that will create 12 million new jobs and rising incomes for everyone.”

When you don't count 2.5 million UNEMPLOYED something MAGIC happens. The unemployment rate DROPS.

The ACTUAL government September 2012 unemployment report:

Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (7.3 percent), adult women (7.0 percent), and whites (7.0 percent) declined over the month. The unemployment rates for teenagers (23.7 percent), blacks (13.4 percent), and Hispanics (9.9 percent) were little changed. The jobless rate for Asians, at 4.8 percent (not seasonally adjusted), fell over the year.The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers) rose from 8.0 million in August to 8.6 million in September. These individuals were working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job. (See table A-8.)

In September, 2.5 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force, essentially unchanged from a year earlier. (These data are not seasonally adjusted.) These individuals were not in the labor force, wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. ]They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. (See table A-16.) Among the marginally attached, there were 802,000 discouraged workers in September, a decline of 235,000 from a year earlier. (These data are not seasonally adjusted.) Discouraged workers are persons not currently looking for work because they believe no jobs are available for them.The remaining 1.7 million persons marginally attached to the labor force,

While that is a good point, if someone were to come out about it, their career would be made by the person taking over their bosses office on Nov 6th.

The bureaucracy in this case is less transient than the "boss". Most of them have already been around for at least 3 administrations.

And they are around because they don't make waves for their bosses. Capice?

And the word gets out all the time, but the current Administration enjoys a mostly surrogate media that runs interference for them and makes sure nothing is much of a scandal that most people ever see. Those of us who do know about it get it from the politically incorrect sources like talk radio, Fox News, and some of the better researched websites. The rest of the MSM eventually reports it, but always where most people won't see it.
So then we can assume the BLS cooked Bush's numbers also. Real UE under Bush was 25%. Willard says real UE is now 11% so Obama has cut the real UE of Bush in half.
:eusa_whistle:
It wasn't. Bush never had to rely upon dropouts from the job hunt to lower his employment numbers.

Barry does. But then, Barry depends upon a lot of lies to stay in power.

Soooooo.......obama crashes and burns in an important debate, Romney's poll numbers start climbing, and then, just then, employment figures of dubious accounting suddenly show improvement that has proven unattainable for his entire term up to this point. I guess you just never know what's gonna happen...........
 
That's only because the CON$ervoFascist Brotherhood wastes everyone's time with their "BLS's numbers are cooked" bullshit every month the UE number goes down.

Yeah, yeah, yeah and last month after you were bombarded with proof that you were wrong you melted away from the thread.
Bullshit


I alone must have given you 8-10 links, a few to the BLS itself. I explained it and you persisted for awhile and disappeared.:cool:

What’s interesting is that you and others on the right now consider the polls accurate, when they weren’t before Wednesday; and government data not accurate when they reflect a drop in unemployment, but the same government sources had accurate data when the unemployment rate remained unchanged.

“We had 600,000 government jobs added in the last two months. We had 873,000 jobs by a household survey — which is a total estimate — from 50,000 phone calls. Of those, 600,000 were temporary workers. Chris, these numbers are all a series of assumptions. Tons of assumptions. And it just seems somewhat coincidental that the month before the election, the numbers go one-tenth of a point below where the president started. Although, I don’t see anything in the economy that says these surges are true.”


He continued: “These numbers defy logic. They defy logic. We do not have a 4 to 5 percent booming economy with 873,000 people added.

They are panicking because no incumbent has retained the office with unemployment over 8%.
Now that it's lower, the incumbent is within the trend of re-electino with unemployment under 8%
7.8% is also lower than it was when Bush was in Office 2008 with the unemployment rate was 8.2%
It's only going to go lower with 250,000 Christmas and Holiday jobs added to the numbers.

I'm not panicking. I'm surprised things have turned out this well.

Don't know much about economics do ya? 7.8 is good? I don't care if my mother was President, 7.8 is terrible and nothing to pat oneself on the back over... after 4 years and 5 trillion.

such anomalies have happened before. In February '02, for example, the gap was even wider, with household employment up 737,000 and nonfarm payrolls down 146,000—and nobody cried foul.

"By another, better measure, unemployment didn't budge at all"

Employers added a relatively modest 114,000 jobs in September, but the unemployment rate registered its biggest drop in nearly two years. What explains the disparity?

The answer lies in the way the two figures are calculated. The monthly payroll number—how many jobs are gained or added in a month—is based on a survey of about 141,000 businesses and government agencies. The unemployment rate and related statistics are based on an separate survey of about 60,000 individual households.

The business survey is larger and generally more stable. ...

The household survey is more volatile. ... The survey's tally of people with jobs—based on counting the number of people who say they are working, rather than the business survey's count of employees ...

Despite the month-to-month disagreements, however, the two surveys line up well over the longer term. In fact, over the past year, they show almost identical jobs growth. That suggests the September household survey likely overstated the jump in employment, but the July and August surveys likely missed in the other direction. That is consistent with what the business survey is showing: slow, but relatively steady jobs growth.

Romney and GOP in Panic After Unemployment drops to 7.8%

Another Phony Employment Reporthttp://lewrockwell.com/roberts/roberts371.html

October 5. Today’s employment report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows 114,000 new jobs in September and a drop in the rate of unemployment from 8.1% to 7.8%. As 114,000 new jobs are not sufficient to stay even with population growth, the drop in the unemployment rate is the result of not counting discouraged workers who are defined away as “not in the labor force.”

According to the BLS, “In September, 2.5 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force.” These individuals “wanted and were available for work,” but “they were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey.”

In other words, 2.5 million unemployed Americans were not counted as unemployed
