Winter storms to distort US jobless figures (HUH?)

Via Drudge ^

[dinodino]

I’m fairly certain that the upcoming jobless numbers are due also to the situation in Haiti...and the Chilean earthquake...and, of course, BUSH.

At least they will not say UNEXPECTEDLY. This will cause odumbos doc to worry about his alcohol consumption

[BradtotheBone]

So, I wonder what the “Official” Unemployment Numbers will be?

Any guesses?

Global Warming causes record snowstorms and cold.
Winter storms to distort US jobless figures.

Liberals and Communists are insane, Evil, and unrepentant.

There are alot of people who couldn’t file for unemployment because of the snow. Either the filers couldn’t get there or the office was closed. So when the numbers are adjusted; they will get worse.

[Lorianne]

Sounds like the figures are going to be bad ... very bad.

[icwhatudo]

temporary effects of cash for clunkers-Check!
temporary effects of Census hiring 1 million people-Check!
temporary effects of snowstorm..IGNORE IT! IGNORE IT! ITS ARTIFICIAL!!!

There’s some serious straw-grasping right there.

"The blizzards that affected much of the country during the last month are likely to distort the statistics. So it's going to be very important ... to look past whatever the next figures are to gauge the underlying trends," Summers said in an interview with CNBC, according to a transcript.

Global warming promotes gainful employment.

Take that son of all all bulls that sh!t Algore!

[WOBBLY BOB]

Summers hates winter people!

[Senator_Blutarski]

So the seasonally adjusted numbers are not seasonally adjusted?

[paulycy]

So the seasonally adjusted numbers are not seasonally adjusted?

If they were adjusted then they couldn't be unexpected, could they?

[Halgr]

I can’t figure out whether Summers is evil or stupid....

Maybe he is both.

Translation - "we're so incompetent we have to blame the weather"

[hattend]

Exactly

[Typical_Whitey]

Obama fears that somehow his failed stimulus package with increasing unemployment will have an impact on how the people perceive the governments ability to handle things in the private sector and therefore have a negative impact on his ability to pass government control of Healthcare...

DOH !!

LOL

[Le Chien Rouge]

Next events/elements to be blamed for higher joblessness:

1) Conservative talk radio wanting Obama to fail
2) Money Hoarders not spending
3) Gun owners promoting a culture of fear
4) A rainy spring
5) Summer vacations
6) Not enough government involvement in job creation process
7) Automation
8) too many 60 somethings in the workforce hogging up the jobs
9) Everything that could be invented has been created thereby has stagnated the creation of jobs
10) Yoko Ono

For once it's NOT Bush's fault?!

[Ticonderoga34]

Obama’s big snow job.

I think that the White House is getting worried about the jobless rate. Barry is starting to lose all those young people who voted for him because they thought that Hope and Change meant having a good job.

Summers let a female do his math for him.
