So out of the last 10 weeks 6 weeks were INCORRECTLY reported indicating a false favorable trend. Of the remaining 4 weeks one was correctly reported down and the other three were up - and correct reported as so. So in 10 weeks you have had 9 weeks of ‘positive’ headlines when in fact there has only been 3. And a couple of those were very slim margins. If you only read the headlines since the ‘4 year record low’ in March you would think that the unemployment was a non-issue.
