Given that our current federal methodology purposely under-counts inflation (by which we’ve actually continued in contraction rather than an expansion straight through Obama’s four years), real wages are really plummeting.

And of course even the 7.9% figure is bogus.

No worries. Give him a second term. He will fix it all, but good. You will see 20% unemployment and everyone broke with his total socialist destruction of America. Tuesday folks. Tuesday. Anyone who votes for him GETS what they ask for, and the end result will be nothing.

OBAMA FAIL! The unemployment rate went up! He’s had four years for his so-called stimulus to work and unemployment is still HIGHER than it was when he took office! $5 trillion dollars later and the best Obama can manage is 7.9%!

Rick Santelli was in rare form calling these numbers BS while Steve LIESman and the other sycophants sat there open mouthed. It was a thing of beauty.

Look folks, the Obamabots tried the best they could......but....this Jobs number information is not going to help Obama one way or the other!!! Obama’s has more problems politically. Crowd size for one: Yesterdays campaign rally numbers: Green Bay, WS = 2,600, Las Vegas, NV = 4500, Denver, CO = 10,000. That is a grand total of 17,500 for three campaign stops, not good numbers. Comparison with 2008 for one trip to Las Vegas, NV during the last week of the 2008 PTUS campaign = 80,000. Obama has a problem!!!!

Get out and vote for Rpmney/Ryan, folks!!! ABO!!!

Sorry, guys. Changed the headline again. I was dealing with a number of BLS/unemployment threads at the same time, and was trying to make at least one of them work.

This is a good time to remind everyone to use proper headlines in order to avoid duplicates.

Romney can run with this. After 4 years the unemployment rate under the socialist has risen,not declined. I mean this is a hanging curve.
