The highest estimate was 150,000. And they blew that away.
It will be interesting to see November/December. I am skeptical.
Watch the MSM try to spin this into good news. Too bad, it won’t work. Jobless rate went up.
Liars. The rate is higher.
MSNBC is saying..this is a positive for the president..it shows the economy is improving...it went up..but this is so so good...WTF!?
I’m shocked! I expected them to cook the books down below 7% for Dear Ruler.
Not what Obama needed, but he can say he kept it under 8% for all that’s worth.
Anyone know if all states are reporting? I heard something last night that New York and New Jersey numbers wouldn’t be incldued...can’t confirm.
How do you get an increase in non-farm hiring and a rise in the rate? Shouldn’t htey work inversely? I think need to turn off the TV until next Wednesday. Thanks for the post, though..
The spin will be althought the rate of unemployment was up it was because more people entered the workforce feeling they had a better chance of getting a job.
so an increase from 7.8 to 7.9 is ‘unchanged’?
interesting
The 7.8% number for September was later “corrected” to 7.9%.
They will spin it positively. Because more jobs were added than expected. Of course, the rate went up, and they would have spun THAT otherwise.. its always about spin spin spin.
Bad news for the president, the only number people pay attention to is the unemployment rate and it went UP UP UP. I hope Romney has the commercials ready to go...
“Employment growth has averaged 157,000 per month thus far in 2012, about the same as the average monthly gain of 153,000 in 2011.”
That’s the key point. 2012 has not been an improvement over 2011. All is flat.
Another key point: Gallup was wrong. Don’t you forget it.
If that's your adder, it incorrect. If it's the real headline, it's incorrect. It was 7.8% last month. It went up!
How is it “essentially” unchanged if it ticked up one tenth? When it ticked down one tenth they said flat out the unemployment rate dropped. lol
Unbelievable.
That's racist.
With all due respect change your headline. That’s not the headline of the article in parenthesis.
I changed the headline to revert it as closely as possible to the original.
This will change nothing.
