Personally, I believe this is all Bravo Sierra. How can so many be losing their jobs each week and the unemployment rate stays at 9.6%?

Don’t believe it for a second.

Aren’t these revisions getting really squirrely? There’s something really hinky about these numbers.

Actually yes, I shopuld have clarified.....I had thought it would go up more than expected.

An increase of just .1% when the numbers are close to 500,000 each week makes no sense to me. I never trusted govt less than I do now.

Time for the CNBC charlatan drinking game...
Take a sip if an on-air personality says
1) Unemployment is a lagging indicator
2) This just means that discouraged workers are rejoining the labor force
3) better than expected

2 sips if...
1) Republicans are holding up job creation
2) corporate E/S are up and hiring will soon follow

3 sips if...
1) No double dip

whole bottle if...
1) Entire Obama economic team needs to be fired.
