. . . Rate Rises to 8.3% . . . the unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent

Are there no editors or even proofreaders left in the mainstream media? Some of us would agree with the headline that when the unemployment rate goes from 8.2% to 8.3%, that should be referred to as rising and not falling. This journalistic error is unexpected, just like the bad economic news.

NB: CNBC corrected the mistake in the first sentence from “fell” to “rose”
