Obama cooking the books ...
Added 190K jobs in July, UE stayed above 8.1%
Added 150K jobs in August, UE stayed above 8.1%
Added 114K jobs in September, UE rate plummets to 7.8%- Or BLS revised their numbers, but dismissal theories to justify frustration is an option too.hellobotto
- Kind of like liberals who came up with a host of theories to vilify anything GWB-related.hellobotto
- Cooking the books? How would Obama be able to change UE numbers?ukit2
- probably a coincidence ... right?dibec
- Pad July, Pad August, and let September be.dibec
- He doesn't control what the numbers are...it's an independent agencyukit2
- Chicago politics at their finest my friend.dibec
- If the WH had absolute control of BLS, they would strong-armed them to...hellobotto
- ...make the data BLS was sitting on official sooner, rather than now.hellobotto
- The WH masterminded this BLS report = the GOP directs hurricanes at poor peoplehellobotto

Jobs added means nothing until jobs lost is subtracted. Do THAT math first.ETM - More jobs added in summer, but more jobs also lost.ETM
- Less jobs added in Sept, but less lost as well. 14,000, mostly manufacturing, if I recall.ETM

I love how Romney promises to create 12 million new jobs in ten years... which is exactly the same amount of new jobs that are predicted to be created if things continue as they are without change.

“No. 1,” declared Mitt Romney in Wednesday’s debate, “pre-existing conditions are covered under my plan.” No, they aren’t — as Mr. Romney’s own advisers have conceded in the past, and did again after the debate.

Let’s get one thing out of the way: The data was not, as Jack Welch suggested in a now-infamous tweet, manipulated. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is set up to ensure the White House has no ability to influence it. As labor economist Betsey Stevenson wrote, “anyone who thinks that political folks can manipulate the unemployment data are completely ignorant of how the BLS works and how the data are compiled.” Plus, if the White House somehow was manipulating the data, don’t you think they would have made the payroll number look a bit better than 114,000? No one would have batted an eye at 160,000.
The fact is that there’s not much that needs to be explained here. We’ve seen drops like this — and even drops bigger than this — before. Between July and August the unemployment rate dropped from 8.3 percent to 8.1 percent — two-tenths of one percent. November-December of 2011 also saw a .2 percent drop. November-December of 2010 saw a .4 percent drop. This isn’t some incredible aberration. The fact that the unemployment rate broke under the psychologically important 8 percent line is making this number feel bigger to people than it really is.

^ PS. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis was appointed by Obama.

soo, basically when the unemployment rate was low under bush, that was basically bullshit, too. however the talking heads on the right are quick to point out those salad days.

@dibec -"Obama cooking the books ..."
Jobs created figure always thrown around doesn't yet have jobs lost subtracted (obviously, so it looks more positive). Do that simply MATH first, and you can better see how the percentages are affected. You need the net growth.
Or to speak GOP. revenue - expenses = profit
- dibec0
ETM. I get you buddy.
My problem is, the "part-time" factor has had the highest increase in the last 20 years or so.
Think about it ... Out of all 20 years, last month was the highest increase in part-time ...
- They haven;t hidden the fact at all that jobs lost are of a higher income than jobs created.ETM
- Is that what you are getting at?ETM
- It just requires some reading, rather than looking at pretty graphs on Faux news. :)ETM
- I look at all news site. ;) Been reading about it all morning. Pretty interesting thus far.dibec
- Good to hear. :)ETM
- CNN's done a decent job. Still liberal bias, but more center than most.ETM

- Was this taken before or after the debate?utopian
- Considering it ends Sep 30, and the debate was this week...ETM
- The last data point is today's numbersukit2

- Gallup lags by a few days to a week. Probably capturing run-up to debate, not post-debate.hellobotto
- No it is post-debateukit2
- Surprising that Romney didn;t gain more from the debate, then.ETM
- uuuuuhhhhhhmmmmm? 30 sept.? anyone?whhipp
- Can you not read a chart? The last marker was 30 Sept but it goes beyond that.ukit2
- No, he can't read a chart.TheBlueOne

Kool-Aid ... " PBS CEO Paula Kerger refused to defend PBS host Jim Lehrer’s debate performance, even failing to push back against the idea that Lehrer is too old and too white for the job. "

breaking news ...
"Republican nominee used a "cheat sheet" in Wednesday night's debate against President Barack Obama." aka a handkerchief.
He also lied, controlled the moderator, flip-flopped, was rude to Obama, and was overly aggressive.
On the flip side, Obama had altitude sickness and debates are not that important.
