Beatcha!
obama regime trick figures may look to improve the unemployment rate but unlike a true recovery, that will not translate to more tax revenues.
Only productive citizens pay taxes. People who drop out of the labor force are not paying taxes, they are eating them.
So they get the smaller percentage by dishonestly reducing the numerator of the equation.
No one is looking for work according to the liars, and everyone who wants a full-time job has one. The unemployment rate is -47.56%. Full employment. According to the Ministry of Truth.

We are making slow and steady progress destorying America.
But don't worry. We're all doing great. I'm feasting on bogus statistics, and I'm fat and happy.
But the civilian employment to population ratio is STILL 58.5%, the same level as the Carter-era Malaise.
Administration claims the 1 million plus is false since there is a seasonal adjustment and actually 75,000 people were ADDED to the labor force.
But even with that rigging of the data, the employment to population ration remains at 58.5%.
The feds should stop putting out these almost useless employment stats which are abused by both parties. We should start a new set of stats that actually tell us something. Maybe stats that account for all working age Americans:
1. Full time employed
2. Temporary or part-time employed
3. Unemployed and seeking work
4. Unemployed no longer seeking work
4. Those not working and on welfare
5. The independently wealthy who do not need employment
Those categories probably need some refinement, but the feds need to be stopped from their game playing and required to provide meaningful stats concerning the employment/unemployed/living off the government situation.
And maybe some stats to indicate the status of our retirement age population.
I was told that part of the sampling was due to an adjustment in the annual benchmark where fewer companies are sampled so any increase in employment will result in a larger drop of unemployment percentage. The actual unemployment rate including those that gave up looking in 15.1%.
There was 137 million available jobs in Jan. 2009 but today they only calculate 135 million “available” jobs.
The MSM won’t care about bad numbers until a Republican’s in office.
Obama is still counting on the stupidity of the majority of the country. Hey! An American Idol re-run is on! Gotta go!
Another 10 million dropping out by November will get the rate under 7% and happy days are here again.
You can pick the time span at the top of the page.
not watching FOX so I have tried to watch CNN in the morning,
how on this earth can anyone take that channel seriously, they were all cheering up the unemployment figures, yesterday the debt has gone down, yea it is now only being spent 1.2 tril instead of 1.3 tril.
You’d have thought everyone was doing well if you watch the MSM, funny how they did not mention any of the real figures.
We all knew the MSM was going to fudge numbers and not report the real figures to help their messiah.
This is another reason why we need someone with balls in that whites house and it is not Romney, we need an investigation into the MSM working with this white house to get him elected and covering for him and ten have it go public.
Wow!!! At that rate the population of the country would go to zero in less than a decade.
Now this is way so complicated for some; like talk show guy, Hughes H. Changing denominators and such, not withstanding the mathmatically challenged, this _is_ a significant reason USG unemployment is getting better, so quickly, too.
