You’re absolutely right. It was also predictable this would happen, and why for months, I’ve been asking people to say that the main reason the unemployment rate had gone down was that the millions (now nine million, I think) of people who have given up looking for jobs while Obama has been president are no longer counted in the labor force, no longer counted as unemployed, even though they don’t have a job.
Statistics are like a bikini bathing suit: What they reveal are suggestive and what they conceal are vital.
An excellent reminder.
Yep, and even behind the Labor Dept was Obama’s thoroughly politicized census bureau doing the raw data collection. It’s very easy to manipulate survey results by tweaking the population that you choose to call.
Bump bump this needs to ber seen.
[..no longer counted in the labor force...]
David Copperfield is burning with with envy...even he wouldn’t be able to ‘vanish’ million of people.
