Simple analysis of the jobs situation. A lot of companies cleared the books for three years of as much labor as they could to survive. 2012 budgets included a couple new hires, and did not account for new layoffs. Now, 2012 is settling in, and the economy is still on life support. Hiring is slowing and some companies are now letting people go again as the numbers look worse than expected.

Recovery? RECOVERY? Are you bleepin’ kidding me!

I never saw that coming.
It was unexpected.

Their revisions are fairly large every week now it seems. Their lies are catching up with them.

You reap what you sow, and the more Obama threatens the top 1%, the more chips they take off the table. Unemployment will continue to spiral out of control until the Moron-in Chief is removed from office.

Last week, someone posted an article that stated there were 56 upward revisions during the past 57 weeks.

It's now 57 of 58...I'd call that a "trend".

How many times does something have to happen before it is no longer unexpected? The economic prognosticators in this administration are an exceptionally slow-witted bunch.

But ZERO will crow about the next Unememployment rate release which will show another drop to 8.1% and the media will hail the great turnaround continues

And the revision is always up.

With the choice now narrowed down to being between a slimy Massachusetts liberal or an incompetent Chicago Marxist, employers have little optimism.

Last weeks got revised up 10,000. So how much will this weeks 380,000 be revised up next week?

[Sooth2222]

[TomGuy]

The prior week's figure was revised up

How many times, in the last 4 years, has the figure ever been "revised down"?

The weekly underestimating continues to be laughable -- but they continue to get away with it.

My sense is that buying had died for a bit, that consumers had paid down credit cards and loans, and that they had had a period of purchasing before and after Christmas that led to a demand that required some extra workers.

They have now done their spending so it’s slowing down and retailers and manufacturers are sensing that.

Additionally, higher gas prices have again siphoned off discretionary cash, so that has also softened any demand for other items. The oil sheiks get rich again in another of the installments of price hikes promised by the bowing to mecca obama. (These opec manipulators of prices will again ratchet up supply prior to election day to make him look good.)

The next recession will be intentional, and it will be programmed to hit end of the year is my sense.

[Upstate NY Guy]

Bush’s fault.

[Loyal Buckeye]

Anyone have a chart of the number of people dropping out of the labor force because they can’t find work?

[Principled]

upward revisions now 53 of 54 last weeks?
