“so, in other words, 399,000 people lost their jobs last week”

Anyone see the significance in this 399,000 number? Odumbo’s boys in Labor made it so. I guarantee it is higher, but Gov, cooked the books to stay away from the negative physiological number of 400,000. Of course next week it will be revised to 403k, but that won't hit the news.
