No shock or surprise here.

I posted when the data came out several days ago that the ‘revised’ figures wouldn't show up until after the start of the New Year.

They have been manipulating figure for 6 years. On the unemployment data, we used to try to guess who/what they would blame for the next week's weak numbers: snow, rain, hurricane, malfunctioning computer in California, Tuesday had too many hours in it, 3-day weekend, etc.

The only ones they ‘fool’ are the compliant media who parrot everything they say.

But, things could be improving as some of that big business reserved cash comes back into the economy in anticipation of only 2 years remaining for Obama. Of course, if a lefty wins in 2016, the economy may falter again.

Given the GOP[e] salivating over Romney and Jeb Bush, it may just come down to a lefty vs. lefty offering by the two parties.
(Heck, given `08 and `12, I fully expect it.)

Longer than that.

As I recall the last employment numbers in for Oct 1992 were very ugly...they were reported just before the GHWB/Bubba election.

As I recall they were later adjusted upward to quite satisfactory.
