Why do they expect the voting public to believe this manipulation?

Gov’t job numbers revised upward for last 3 months....?

Sadly the BLS has been completely corrupted by this corrupt regime. There is no way you get to 7.8% with the dismal hiring and unemployment numbers we’ve actually experienced over the past 3+ years.

Excuse me, but where exactly on the Fox site does it say unemployment is 7.8%? Looks to me like the published number is 8.2%.

Yeah, and don’t forget these numbers were set-up by the continuing contraction in the labor force...a slight uptick in jobs (among a much smaller workforce), voila, 7.8 percent unemployment

What an impossible number!!

How is the government supposed to have credibility with anyone when they make statements so patently bogus?

But, he did say it would go above 8% in his first term.

He’s asking, “Where’s my ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner?”

The Labor Department says employers added 114,000 jobs in September. The economy also created 86,000 more jobs in July and August than first estimated. Wages rose in September and more people started looking for work.

The revisions show employers added 146,000 jobs per month from July through September, up from 67,000 in the previous three months. The unemployment rate fell from 8.1 percent in August, matching its level in January 2009 when President Barack Obama took office.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With a month to go until the presidential election, the government on Friday issues its September jobs report, expected to show an uptick in the U.S. unemployment rate after employers added only a modest number of jobs.

Economists forecast that the unemployment rate edged up last month to 8.2 percent from 8.1 percent, according to a survey by FactSet. Employers are expected to have added 111,000 jobs.
