Only one more report before election day in November.

Count on an unexpectedly good report in the October report. And count on a major downward revision in November.

Nonfarm payroll employment changed little (-54,000) in August, and the unemployment rate was about unchanged at 9.6 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.

Ask the people who lost their jobs whether the change was "little". By my calculation, a net -54,000 jobs with private payrolls adding 67,000 means well over 100,000 people lost their jobs.

“about unchanged”????????

What a joke. I’ve heard the unemployment rate described as “unchanged” when it remains the same but I’ve never heard this type verbage. How many tenths does it have to jump to actually change?

LOL

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

I have never seen so many people out of work, including myself.

the word “unexpected” doesn’t appear here. Maybe the economists are slowly learning.

Team Obama will use every manipulation possible to keep it under 10% through the November election.

We have had millions more lose their jobs since it hit 10% in Oct-Nov-Dec 2009.

Astoundingly, it dropped to 9.7% by Jan 2010 and has managed to stay [aka, been manipulated to stay] in the mid-9% range this year, even with over 400,000 new weekly job loss claims.

They are screwing around with these numbers. BIG TIME.

How has it been 9.5% for one straight year with net loss of jobs overall?

You need to create 200,000 per month just to keep afloat with the population. 300,000-400,000 to make a dent.

This is all bogus.

So if all the unemployed stopped looking for work would the unemployment rate hit 0.0%?
