-——the unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent.———

I thought it was 8.2% before. I must have missed the unheralded re adjustment to 8.4%

Ministry of Truth must have gotten to this one before it was published.

"....fell to 8.3" ? ...."I thought it was 8.2% before. I must have missed the unheralded re adjustment to 8.4%"

Actually, bert, the lead was written a week ago to trumpet Obie's falling unemployment rate, no matter what actually happened. The editor forgot to fix that descriptor.

Also, this morning's politico email blast noted that "Analysts had predicted the July jobs number would come in at around 100,000". When have analysts ever predicted anything that low? Sounds like an unprovable fact, totally made up, and included to make Obie look better.

They are saying it fell up. It’s insanely brazen 1984 style propaganda.
