Ok, who hasn't noticed how hard it is to understand the convoluted BS MSM spews out when talking about unemployment these days. During Bush I & II it was simple message from the MSM the sky is falling unemployment is the worse since the great Depression blah blah blah. Now we get all of this incomprehensible goblygook.

Smoke and mirrors. When you cannot believe the data provided by government, Orwell’s 1984 is just around the corner.

>>These reports make absolutly no sense.<<
Desperate teenagers, when caught with drugs, will say stuff like, “I was holding it for a friend.” You can tell a teenager is lying when their explanations make no sense.
The government has gotten to that point.

Exactly! How can the rate go down when we have increasing number of new jobless claims?
It appears the books are being kept by the IPCC to insure a high level of accuracy.

"The unemployment rate dropped unexpectedly in January to 9.7 percent from 10 percent while employers shed 20,000 jobs."Utter BS, this is statistics USSR style. "Grain Harvest Sets Record!" in the middle of a famine.
They just move the goalposts, and redefine "unemployment."
Welcome to the USSA, comrades, where jobs drop, and so does the "official" unmemployment rate.

Don’t worry, it will be revised next Thursday. Oh, we made a mistake with the calculations.

Sounds like a bunch of people simply gave up on finding a job.Or do they stop counting people when their unemployment benefits run out?

When you consider that they’re coming from the administration that gave 95% of us a tax cut, saved 100,000,000 jobs and reversed the rising sea levels by staring down the ocean, it all makes perfect sense.

Right you are. When unemployment was just 5% during the Bush years, Ms. Pelosi, every month was intoning this mantra: “Where the jobs, Mr. President?”
Now we get a report saying that unemployment unexpectedly drops to 9.7%, and many folks are joyous.
We are a very, very long way from getting out of the woods.

For the Leftists there’s a bit of a twist to an old cliche that goes something to the effect of “When the going gets tough, the tough cook the numbers”.
Seems apparent in almost everything they do. The Left is based in lies, to themselves first, then..........
