The problem is, thanks to government liars, we have no idea what these numbers mean in a real world.

Every week we see 300K+ new UE claims filed.
Every week we see 160K +/- new jobs CLAIMED

Simple math would seem to indicate a perpetual downward trend but the Spin Meisters claim a declining UE rate.

We do know for a fact, just not the actual number, that every week more people drop off the UE line as they have exhausted their benefits or given up or retired.

Just like we are being fed a crap sandwich for inflation numbers as food and energy are skyrocketing (bHo wanted energy to do this) so just how is inflation low?

Who will reject the left/right food fight and present hard, real, true numbers so intelligent people can make intelligent decisions?

That number is about to get a lot worse as companies are now laying off in droves. “Profit season” is over for the summer months and now we head into the “Tax Season” whereby companies pucker up to make the books look better for end of fiscal year.

someone should start coupling the percentage of jobs that are now part time (< 29.5 hrs per week). Sadly, that percentage is growing like a wild fire, and it is the Obamawreckcare’s fault.

The number of people who applied for new U.S. unemployment benefits climbed by 13,000 to 336,000 in the week ended Aug. 17 but remained near a post-recession low,

TRANSLATION: Welcome to "The New Normal". Bad news is not so bad and could be worse (especially if all those who have given up were actually counted). Repeat a lie long enough and it becomes the truth. Thanks Chairman 0bama.
