SEPT Unemployment Report 7.8%

How ironic

Last report before the election, how convienent

We'll take it

If labor force participation had held even since January (when it was 8.3 percent), the jobless rate would be 8.4 percent. If the job participation rate were the same as when Barack Obama took office, the rate would be 10.7 percent. The broader U-6 rate (unemployed plus total employed part time for economic reasons) held steady at 14.7 percent.

1.1 million people have disappeared from the labor force during the past year.

In 2012, employment growth has averaged 146K per month, compared with an average monthly gain of 153K in 2011.

PS: the upward revision for August consists of government hiring.

 

Bogus numbers.

The mainstream media IS going to continue "spinning" everything possible consistently pushing  even further their  case of supporting the "biggest fraud" to ever "sniff," much less. inhabit the WH

History NEVER lies

  7.8%

Crusher, was that the so called " MAINSTREAM MEDIA " that carried the debate?  Was it the questions from the left wing PBS that didn't give Robney a fair chance ?

 

You guys on the right are such hypocrites.

Updating polls today also:

SWING STAES (Rasmussen that is (+/- 4%)

               OHIO                 FLA               VA

BOH          50%                  47%             48%
  
MR            49%                  49%             49%

If I didn't know any better, I would say the Tide is turning

DJ, yesterday's  talking template and post debate commentary was one of the funniest days ever in my lifetime. I am just so happy 67 million of your fellow Americans tuned it to such a debacle


Wow, I guarantee half of those don't need to view another(or waste their invaluable time)  before making their decision Facts are, the truth is out and the majority of semi-intelligent/interested ACTUAL voters witnessed two totally different views for the future of this country and 67%-25% is all that  matters.

Al Gore "It must have been the altitude" excuses

The American people are not this "stupid" and are  FINALLY realizing  the deception the mainstream media has been extremely GUILTY of  propagandizing  to their own idealogical beliefs

All the lies and incompetentcy are finally starting to surface

Remenber, DJ, Romney wants be bipartisan and WILL at least sit down and visit with members of Congress of both parties. That is what genuinely intelligent people do. Value others opinions which I do yours despite us  vastly  disagreeing

Well you guys have a shot at Romney +300 again, I see the book numbers have gone up the last few days.

I love how you try to use the "Real" unemployment number only when speaking of Obama's presidency and then I'm sure (lets play your speculation and inference game) revert to the more widely accepted, and mostly quoted number when referring to GW's tenure.

So you're not aware that the computation of the figure was changed under the obama administration just as the definition of deportations was changed to make obama appear tough on illegal immigration.
It must be painful to be so woefully uninformed.

But Wall. even you must agree there is some serious bias and/or manipulation of those numbers to boost BOH's positivity

C'mon, 67 million clearly witnessed a very vast wide difference of direction this Great country should be headed. If it wasn't so obviously blatant, I would never be soooo confident in BOH's demise Face it BOH was fully exposed in Round 1

Oh wait, that foreign policy debate is just around the corner

I think the data is manipulated all the time and has been since it started being calculated.

I believe the numbers are off - as they always are.  These numbers are used as a political football for both sides.

Doesn't matter.  Voters will decide based on many factors, and if someone changes their mind based off of these numbers then they suck at voting.

Watch for the report on Monday detailing illegal donations from overseas to Obama.  That will be the story all next week.

I don't believe the numbers either!  Never have, never will.

This is obvious:  If the "Direction of the Country" polls are moving up, that favors the incumbent, if going down, that favors the challengers.  People vote on emotion, and if undeciced independents decide this thing, I'd say that unemployment numbers might be the biggest indicator and factor on deciding whom to vote for.

This number is big.

Although I can't prove it, I still don't believe it.

Regardless of the "true" unemployment number, it is definitely too high and I would believe that it is minimum 10%.

Trust government numbers?

They have goals and will manipulate and massge numbers as needed.

They've always been bogus numbers so why blame Obama?

What hogwash! Canada's numbers come out and we create more jobs per captia than the Americans, our jobless figures go up while their figures drop to a four year low. More Americans than ever are dependant on food stamps and yet somehow the jobless figures are better? Talk about cooking the books! The United States would need to have created at least 500,000 jobs to see a decline in unemployment figues.

If you believe in the honest validity of these "mysteriously adjusted numbers", then you also believe in Santa Claus, and the Tooth Fairy.

I saw an interesting comparison with the unemployment numbers in double digits on a generally steady dropping over the 4 years to below 8% to looking exactly like Reagan...

Could any of these jobs possibly be temporary jobs in preparing for the upcoming holiday season? 

I love it how the GOP has used the unemployment numbers against Obama for months and as soon as they come out and show a reduction, they are now somehow tainted.  Kind of like how the repubs don't believe in polls and insist that the mainstream media is manipulating them, but as soon as Romney's poll numbers improve, they suddenly embrace the polls.
