Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast payrolls would rise by 144,000 and that the jobless rate would remain unchanged at 9.6%.

I don’t remember any other time in my life, where unemployment figures remained static for six months in a row. This whole thing stinks of CYA disinformation.

Is the fact that the Republicans are going to be in charge of the House causing a more frank addressing of the unemployment figures? I don’t see why it would, but something curious is going on here above and beyond accurate reporting IMO.
