I see they buried the real story again: last week's unemployment numbers (the ones used to goose the stock market into paroxysms of joy) were once again revised upward - this time from 445,000 to 449,000. That makes 24 out of the past 25 weeks that the previous week's jobless claim numbers have been revised upward instead of downward by the Department of Labor. Anyone want to calculate what the odds are assuming an equal chance of either outcome or of no change? Hint: there are a lot of zeroes involved.

calculate what the odds areI've noticed this too. Were the numbers not being jiggered, then they should - more or less - be revised upwards 1/2 the time, and downwards 1/2 the time. The fact that they're always revised upwards is evidence that they're being played with, IMHO.

you caught that!
good for you.
But did you catch them revising the jobs lost numbers (for all of last year) up by 900,000+ a week or so ago?
Our government is lying to us.

Hint: there are a lot of zeroes involved. Nah...only one...
