Any doubt that fudging numbers will continue right through the election cycle?

Where is the truth in all this? Something(s) esoteric and arcane, or a simple source where reality and objectivity are more important than the “party line?”

“If that full participation rate is the goal, our economy is ‘missing’ 3.8 million workers,” McDonald said.”

This says it all. The Lame Stream Media is playing this game with Obama and they too need to be called out on it. Anyone with even a basic understanding of math how this works.

Shrink the pie but give the same amount then you get a bigger percentage.

US jobless rate falls, but labor force shrinks (Labor Dept. fudges numbers)

The author must not be very familiar with English conjunctions. The proper word is "because".

The sudden drop is labor participation at the end of the year seems odd. It isn’t like “stop looking for work” is a New Year’s resolution. Did unemployment benefits and thus labor participation cut off recently?

A report coming from 0dumb0’s labor dept indicating 243,000 jobs added.... yah, right, like the numbers are completely distorted by 0dumb0’s fellow socialist liars. But I did see headlines on a Mpls Red Star Tribune, absolutely gloating about this “good news”. RAT bastard lying pigs. Guess they forgot to talk about the 1.2 million people who dropped off the unemployment rolls.

Anyone who “believes’ 8.3% is clinically insane, a liar, a democrat, or on crack.
