Four days after Wall Street and the business media went gaga over the better-than-expected 292,000 new jobs created in December, let me tell you the non-adjusted truth: There were just 11,000 new jobs created last month.
That's not my estimate or the guess of some on-the-fringe Obama administration critic. That comes directly from the Labor Department Web site. Here's how to find it.
1. Go to the Labor Department Web site, specifically the page: http://www.bls.gov/ces/.
2. Now Look at the "Browse CES" list on the left side of the page, find "CES Databases" and click on it.
3. Next, go to the yellow box icons along the top and click on "Multi-Screen Data Search."
4. After that, check off the box that says "Not Seasonally Adjusted," then click "Next form."
5. Then check the box "Total nonfarm" and click on "Next form."
6. Then Highlight the first line that says "All Employees" and click "Next form."
7. Then highlight "01 All Employees, Thousands" and click "Next form."
8. Then highlight "0000000Total nonfarm" and click "Next form."
9. We are almost at the end. Now click "Retrieve data" at that bottom of this page.
If you did that correctly, you will find a table titled "Employment, Hours and Earnings from the Current Employment Statistics Survey (National)."
This is the raw data -- before the magic of seasonal adjustments. And let me stress that this is the Labor Department's table. It doesn't come from any outside source and I certainly didn't -- and couldn't -- put it together myself.
This table tallies the number of total jobs in the US in millions by month. So you'll see in the right side of the table's last line that there were 144.191 million jobs in the US in December 2015.

When the Dems tout 9.2million jobs since 2009, remember the working population increased by 17.4million.
Why am I not surprised? Sure would be nice if at least 1 reporter in America searched for the truth other than the blogger above.
UNEXPECTED!
What else would you expect from a Dictator
Omugabe's constituency hasn't the brains to grasp the math involved.
And it's a major tool for Master Manipulators.
If something is destroyed by 50%...
And then announce in serious undertaker tones that in the "last 6 years, things have improved by 100%," nothing has changed from the initial conditions, the cause of failure being the ignorant megalomaniac himself...
Barack Hussein is a math "Zero"
Unfortunately, so are the ignoramuses who vote for him.
The Obama Economy is the BEST, and woe be unto those who gainsay it!
