Some awesome quotes by economists on the BS of this report from a CNN article poster:

The Labor Department, based on a broad survey of employers, said 114,000 jobs were added in September.
But the unemployment rate itself is based on a separate “household survey,” which showed a whopping 873,000 new jobs in September.
“This must be an anomaly,” former Congressional Budget Office director Doug Holtz-Eakin said in a snap analysis of the numbers. “It is out of line with any of the other data..”
Holtz-Eakin noted the household survey is smaller, suggesting it is not as reliable. He called estimate of 873,000 new jobs “implausible.”
Liberal economist Dean Baker, with the Center for Economic and Policy Research, called the September rate drop “almost certainly a statistical fluke.”

Fascinating thread on ZH about this. Here. What they noticed from the "household survey" is that the number of new P/T jobs was EXACTLY 2/3 of the number of new jobs reported (582k/873k). What's the odds? Is this a survey, or a projection? Huh?
