Have there been any recent changes in the Labor Department’s reporting methodology?

And here we go!

Soon to follow: the "discovery" of high unemployment, homeless people, the struggling middle-class, too many low-wage/part-time jobs, etc.

OH FINALLY after 8 years we hear news about inflation!!!

None of these ba$tards care when the price of groceries went up over 120% under Odumbass

I tend to go shopping only about once a month and my average grocery bill USED TO BE about $150. After 8 years of Obama I am lucky I get out for less than $300- the other day I spent $400
