>>New Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that there were 665,000 jobs lost in January, a blunt finding that confuses the heralded report that 151,000 jobs were created in January in non-farm payrolls.

>>But who got them?

Simple. 800,000+ jobs disappeared. 151,000 crappy, mostly low pay and no benefit jobs were created. 665,000 is the balance that gets reported as “lost”.

We need a British or Canadian newspaper to give us the truth.

The MSM and Obama has been BS us for years.

Trump says the real unemployment rate is like over 20 percent.

Hannity says over 100 million out of the labor force.

We know that at least 20 million illegals are in the country.

We can’t get the Truth. Lies all Lies.

They've got so many different job lists so we can either come up w/ any number we want for our politics or we can dig out exactly what we say a "job" really is.  My favorite is the biggest and broadest, the 'Household Survey' (the on that headline unemployment's based on) and they agree w/ the article if we leave out the seasonal adjustment --otherwise it's 600k+ added.  Any way we look at it tho the population grew by half a million and the number of folks not officially in the labor force that still want a job jumped by a couple hundred K.
