September non farm payroll up 103,000 jobs

That's less than 0.02% of the population and completely insignificant.

The country adding jobs instead of shedding jobs is very significant. It's sad if you don't know that. Also, not all of the population actually works or is able to work. You included people like newborns, the elderly and disabled in your math. Not really that smart.

You should look at what they are paying out vs what they say the unemployment rate is. it diverges bu something like 50% for the last month I have numbers for. Over 17% payed out for and 9.8% claimed. Nov of 2010.
