It takes longer than a day to create these numbers. This has been in the works for a while.

About two weeks or so ago there were news stories about how the Department of Labor "found" over a half million jobs by correcting their survey methods (or something like that). I know it was discussed on FR, but I can't find the stories. It looks like they counted them all this month so that even if only slightly over 100,000 new jobs were created all those jobs hiding under the couch get counted just in time for the election.

Does anyone know where to find those stories? I tried, but I couldn't find them.

The Romney camp needs to dismiss these numbers as Chicago Math. They must not accept the data, period.

This is truly criminal.

Congress can’t touch the president but they can pull in the people who actually followed the orders and those who knowingly manipulated the data.

Hold them responsible in hearings conducted in full public view.

Pretty sure Rush said this would happen as the election got closer.

Brett from Barack Insider is a partisan hack. If you read what he posts, it’s typically pro obama, anti romney. But that is what Barack Insider does run by disgraced criminal and fraudster Henry Blodgett. Business Insider is a arm of the Barack campaign trying to get him re-elected.

I didn’t watch the debate due to a prior commitment, but Obama must have been awful if the unemployment number is 7.8.

I agree with Jack.

How is the “Household Survey” done and do they count people working more than one job as >1?

It doesn’t take a big conspiracy to rig the jobs numbers. All it takes is a few people in key positions in the administration. If you think Welch doesn’t have a strong factual basis for this accusation, then you don’t know Jack.

My husband said Jack Welch was all over Twitter and CNBC this morning, outraged at the FAKE 7.8% unemployment number...

I'd like to see Jack somewhere in a Romney administration.

Smart man.

The Kenyan must go.
