Steve Doocy just announced on Fox and Friends that the unemployment rate fell to 8.1%

Sure looks like a lot of number fixing going on. There is no way it should have gone down

[CaptainK]

It’s going down because so many people have stopped looking for a jobs.

If everyone stops looking the unemployment rate will be 0 by election day.

Between now and the election there is absolutely no way you can trust any employment or economic numbers being "reported" by the administration and/or the MSM. No way.

They will report signs of recovery in multiple sectors of the economy. They'll report job growth, housing starts, fewer businesses failing, etc. All rosy indicators. All made up.

Ok, there may be a few niches with some real recovery. But nothing like the storm of lies that is coming. Don't trust anything you get from the MSM - not that I do anyway. But now, look for them to be completely in the tank for their fellow socialists/fascists.

Rising oil and gasoline prices in the U.S. have derailed the most recent falling trend in new jobless claims

President Obama, Democrats and Unions would be able to take so much more if they could convince the environmentalists gas under $3.00 would help them all.

At this point, any numbers from the federal government should be ignored. The administration is a fraud. They will lie about absolutely anything and everything.

They will lie about economic numbers without hesitation.
