So that means (using the DNC "new math") that 6,000 jobs were actually lost in August.

I'm not sure how that classifies as "new" (ie odd). Can you explain why this shouldn't be taken into account, and to consider the economy a static entity?

Because the difference between the preliminary 144,000 number for August and 150,000 is statistically insignifigant.

Get real.

Jobs created: June 96k, July 73k, August 144k

MY math says there were over 300k jobs created in the 3 month period. I don't call that exactly static.

My point on the "new math" is that liberals will look at deltas between expectations and actuals and call that a decrease if it suits them. They do it on government spending all the time.

A liberal who gets a 4% raise while expecting a 5% raise would argue that they received a 1% pay cut even though they were taking home more money every month.

Sorry if my point was confusing.
