To put this number in perspective, employment declined 139,000 in September and 127,000 in October.

Is this like climate change trending? you throw out any data that doesn't fit with the desired result? What happened in November (the latest revision of November, that is)? why didn't the list end with that month?

Actually, I don't know about November but I'm fairly confident that the omission was for a reason and not an accident.

The Communist in Chief is flailing and floundering away while we go down the tubes. Beck must be right. They are trying to destroy us. The war on Free Enterprise continues.

It is amazing that there can be job losses month after, month. no new jobs, and yet the unemployment rate remains unchanged.

No spin indeed.
