Is this like you guys proclaiming unemployment was falling during Obamas term, when they werent, and ignoring the fact that tax cuts would lead to lower unemployment, which they have?
The current tax cuts have not been in place long enough to even attempt to be taken as evidence for such claims, which have historically been proven to be untrue.
Unemployment dips to 8.9 pct., 192K jobs added - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_economy - broken link)
WASHINGTON – Employers hired in February at the fastest pace in almost a year and the unemployment rate fell to 8.9 percent — a nearly two-year low.
I guess the OP is a bit off...
Does the official unemployment rate exclude people who have stopped looking for work?
Yes; however, there are separate estimates of persons outside the labor force who want a job, including those who have stopped looking because they believe no jobs are available (discouraged workers).

not true.. tax cuts are for the year, meaning January they would have started to see changes. Business budget FOR THE YEAR, and when they see tax cuts which affect their bottom line, they hire NOW.. They dont wait till December to hire because they would only get a prorated discount.. the earlier they hire, the better the cuts..
Why is the phone poll by the BLS somehow better than the phone poll by Gallup?
Because Gallup is just a pathetic non-partisan professional polling company in business for 75 years, the BLS is a flawless government agency that has never been wrong.
because gallup is just a pathetic non-partisan professional polling company in business for 75 years, the bls is a flawless government agency that has never been wrong.
lol.....
