The “8.3%” is propaganda worthy of Goebbels. The regime must be so proud. The question is: will the sheeple fall for it, or will they beleive their own eyes?

Excellent find and post. First Article that addresses the retirement of the baby boomers in context of declining work force. I am surprised that the unemployment rate with this adjustment is 10.4%!

A lot of people don't buy the 8.3% unemployment number.

I think that number IS accurate, and just fine. It's the 1.2 Million leaving the work force that I don't buy. I think a good chunk of that 1.2 million that in theory left the workforce, actually are indeed working!

Then the question becomes, what job are they working at...

It could be, for example, a newly created Chicargo-like underground job. Or, it could very well be the job of getting off the couch, trunching all the way to and back from the mailbox with this months check. Alternatively, the job could be doing odds and ends, such as waiting for the EBT card to fill up, and then the job of driving around using it.

For me, this false reporting of the unemployment numbers makes me mentally take a next step on those stepping stones that lead to the 1776 solution.

What the press are doing in falsely reporting these numbers is thwarting the natural, non-violent political process that allows for a change in direction without resorting to revolution.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” John F. Kennedy

This stunt is going to backfire on Obama and he knows it which is why he's not talking a lot about it. Once congress passes the unemployment extension then all those displaced unemployed, not counted in the stats, will suddenly be counted again when they refile.

The conclusion is wrong; Obama will probably win re-election and rather handily. That fix is already in. The long term unemployed will vote for him as will the HUDites and welfare recipients. They’ll be bussed to the polling places and their votes will be double counted if necessary to insure victory.

Simple to understand. If the work force is only one person and that one person has a job, then employment is 100% and unemployment is 0%. On the other hand, if the work force is 1,000 and only one person has a job, then employment is 0.1% and unemployment is 99.9%. In both cases, there were the same number of people employed.

Here is a link to the real unemployment and not the B.S. from Washington.

Just look to the right of the screen under U.S. Population. Follow it down.

It has official Unemployed 13,004,423.

Actual Unemployed 23,181,698

http://www.usdebtclock.org/

The U.S. work force is close to 141 million.

The real unemployment (u6) is around 21% more or less. The fluff B.S. from Washington (u4 under the old numbers/not Obama’s cooked books) is almost 11%.

See http://www.usdebtclock.org/

Look on the right side, follow it down and run the numbers.

Lemme see 243,000 new jobs for the month and how many new unemployment claims?
New unemployment claims sank to a three-year low last week.

The number of Americans filing new jobless claims fell by 19,000 to 366,000 for the week ending Dec. 10, according to the Department of Labor. The figure is the lowest the country has seen since May 2008.

The number brings the four-week average of weekly unemployment applications to 387,750, a decline of 6,500 from the previous week and the lowest four-week figure since July 2008.


1,551,000 for the month

132.9 million Americans employed in December. 130.4 million Americans employed in January. The stated unemployment rate fell by 0.2 percent and 243,000 jobs were created. Even people that went to government schools should be able to see that the math doesn’t add up.

How long can people keep fooling themselves? Gas today, here in Wake County,NC, is up to $3.65 at some stations. Up nearly a dime in the past few weeks. You can feel the malaise in the air. Every strip mall has multiple empty storefronts, some have been vacant for years. In our small city, once the fastest growing in NC, all signs of growth have halted. Weeds overtake landing sites once mapped out for new retail spaces. We have entire strip malls – that stand vacant—built just before the Obamanation and they’ve never had an occupant. The only new businesses in town are banks and second hand stores.

How long can people pretend this is normal?
