IOW, just LAST WEEK 372,000 poor souls lost jobs with NO replacement job, so they had to file for unemployment benefits.
Aw Jeez, where’s my pic of Jack Carson.
playing the ‘unexpected’ game, I’m gonna be drunk by noon.
Unexspec....hic. Unesphect...hic Unex...hic

ROFLMAO....that was funny!
As expected, Bush’s fault.
...have you ever seen such a surprised group of media financial guru’s....they are always surprised “unexpectedly”
when bad numbers for Odungo appear
More Serfs for obastard.
More rot for America.
The jobs aren’t coming back without fundamental change back to some of our former principles of economy, business, trade, government and God.
With all the bad press the word “unexpected” has gained over the last 3 years, I was amused they had the nerve to put it in their headline!
I just HAD to post it. I couldn’t help myself. LOL.
Dear Media: Numbers going DOWN would be unexpected. Numbers going UP are the norm. Get it right or hand in your “observer of what’s happening” license!
Republican President = EXPLODED!
Democrat President = crept up
Republican President = LEAPED!
They keep doing the same $hit week after week expecting things to improve when the boat anchor is still in the White House.
There's a definition in there, somewhere, of insanity.
I know we all sort of laugh about these reports, but there is something very unseemly, even sinister, in a Bureau of Labor Statistics that is so blatantly political.
Once upon a time, soon after AlGore invented the Internet, children in school were taught the only websites to be trusted had a “.gov” or “.edu” suffix. Now we know that, with a few exceptions (eg, NIH, CDC and others in the public health arena) we cannot trust a lot of “.gov” or “.edu” websites to provide impartial information.
I remember when the BLS was viewed as an apolitical, reliable source of information. Not any longer. The BLS has become a de facto propaganda arm of the Obama Campaign, something we here feared when the Obama White House tried to take control of the census last year.
To which the Democrats will say, it’s much better than the almost 800,000/mo. when BO took office.
Of course, they don’t explain to the uninformed that the ONLY month that unemployment was that high was Jan. ‘08, when business owners realized that the clueless voters had elected a Marxist as president, and he was taking office Jan. 21. They knew they would have a very tough time with Leftists in charge, and they were right.
Trending up .....any bets on when it gets to 400,000....
My pick....last week of October.
And the deficit grew by another 1.1 Trillion dollars for the year! How Obama’s poll numbers stay as good as they are is a complete mystery. I suppose his propaganda team really is that good. Meanwhile the GOP is stepping in every bit of quicksand they can find.
It must be Thursday!
previous week’s revised figure of 368,000
Along with “unexpectedly” comes the usual revised figure without any mention it is UP from the official figure dispensed last week which was unexpected at that time.
One news article, AP I believe, said this shows there is an indicator of a slow employment recovery. They are wrong, it is a further piece of evidence the press is so far up the backside of this president they may as well be his naval.
