I have read this book, and my copy is from the late 40's-early 50's time. It must be required reading at the Department of Labor and Bureau of Statistics.............................maybe even their rulebook................
Bullfinch.
Number so massaged that they’re flabby and frisby like.
BS!!
Still posin’, still lying, still frontin’ Even though they lost.
If I was the Republicans, I’d claim that the dramatic decrease is due to the Tsunami Effect of their win over Obama.
So how many Americans are now out of the calculations.
Last I knew, it was nearly 93,000,000.

The new Congress should investigate the compilation of these ‘statistics’ for the last 6 years. Or do they want to keep up the lies and distortions for their own use?........................
The fact that the govt can publish these ficticious numbers with a straight face is beyond me. 92 million working age Americans unemployed is more like 20% at the very least.
Again a totally BS number has been posted as fact!
“...Unemployment in the United States dropped precipitously in October 2014 according to this morning’s report issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The report shows that actual unemployment dipped by almost a quarter-percent month-over-month, declining from 11.94% in September to a five-year low of 11.71% in October. This is the lowest US unemployment rate since July 2009, when national unemployment was 11.53%.
The reported official figure declined to 5.8%, keeping actual unemployment over double the official figure for the second month in a row. The Reporting Gap declined to 5.91% from its all-time high last month of 6.04%...”

Part-time holiday hiring.
Amazing how everyone has a job, but the economy is crap.
Ok Obie. You can stop screwing with the numbers now. Americans showed Tuesday they didn’t believe them.
What is the participation rate?
How many of our people doubled the disability, welfare rolls and stay off of statistics after being unemployed off a year.
Don’t care what politician is in office, tell the truth.
IMO unemployment nationally is about 13% and in California it is over 20% when you could those living as a living off the dole in some way.
9th consecutive month +200K
August and September both revised up
Employment-Pop ratio highest since 2009
U6 dropped 30bps to 11.5%
Household survey very strong
Overall a good report
I guess the White House just wanted to put a low unemployment level out there “for the record” so even if the Republicans made improvements and the unemployment level fell, the actual unemployment level would be above that which the White House just reported - in other words, Obama’s administration wants to claim that unemployment went UP after the Republicans took the senate.
But obama thinks you should thank him.
The real unemployment rate is 11.5%.

The kommie media will probably switch to reporting this number when the Pubs run the Senate or the Pubs take the White House.
Lies, lies and more lies.
That’s one of the biggest lies this administration has been shoving down our (@#$#@), without even a peep from the Lame Stream Media. Hey, every one of you “LOW INFORMATION VOTERS” out there, there are 92 million people that don’t have jobs. This charade started in the Clinton administration. The government??? only counts those people that are on the UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE. Once these UNEMPLOYED people get off the UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE, they are taken off the list. Truth be told, if every one unemployed were counted, our unemployed numbers would be around 12% to 15%. That’s a higher unemployed number that during the peak of the 1930’s depression.
I have long since believed any of these stats from the BLS for years.
Now when I want know what the real score is I check Shadow Statistics.com and when you do the real U6 number is north of 20%.
