PRINCETON, NJ -- Unemployment, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment, hit 10.3% in February -- up from 9.8% at the end of January. The U.S. unemployment rate is now essentially the same as the 10.4% at the end of February 2010.

Don't let the Obama administration's jobs report hit you on your way out.

But but but...

[SgtHooper]

How can that be? The gubmint says otherwise. /s

[Para-Ord.45]

... it`s 8.9%!!

So says the messiah and his BLS.

oh wait, Peter Schiff tells us that`s because labor work force participation is at its`s lowest since 1981 !!!

I got scammed again by the messiah ! Damn I`m gullable

[Gaffer]

Government statistics are bullshit. In the span of 1 month the rate drops 0.8% according to them and the workforce employed (even by their standards) has only increased by a measly few tens of thousands? B-U-L-L S-H-I-T !

I think that special sauce they've been using has a buttload of THC in it.

[Persevero]

I am glad to hear a respected national pollster is doing the job the government refuses to do. These stats feel about right to me.

This thread definitely needs the Bagdad Bob graphic to grace it.

Barry and his boys only put out that 8.9 figure last week in an effort to cheer up their little toadies in the state run “media”.

I don’t care who you are, this is funny.

I was eating lunch today with my 10 year
old grandson when his mom asked him “What
is tomorrow?” He said, “It’s President’s Day”.
She asked, “What does that mean?” ... I was
waiting for something profound and was not
disappointed. He said, “President’s Day is
when Obama steps out of the White House and
if he sees his shadow, we have two more years
of unemployment.”

I almost snorted my Diet Coke.

It may be that people aren't anything close to as dense as they were, even two years ago. The last straw that broke the camel's back in the housing market was $4.00/gallon gasoline. It's now up to about $3.60 in my neighborhood. I understand it's climbing everywhere.

Anyone who believes unemployment is dropping while gasoline keeps rising, well, as always, I have great vacation property on Europa I'm willing to part with and be real reasonable. Just call me.

[Jo Nuvark]
