And yet the unemployment rate went to 8.1% for April. Zeros fuzzy math. Look for 7.x% by election time.

According to a report I read in Investors Business Daily, the 115,000 jobs gained coupled with 342,000 people giving up looking for work was the cause of the drop of 0.1%.

A dedicated Obama fanboy on another forum I visit claims that the 342,000 represent baby boomers retiring rather than discouraged job seekers. And, of course, that's not Obama's fault. (I'm looking for a way to refute that claim but haven't found anything solid yet.)
