What's even worse is that July and August were re-evaluated and found to be better than previouly reported, too.
So you don't wonder about all that re-evaluation done after Wednesday's debate? I wonder why all this has come out at this time, and I am pretty sure we know why.
The Clinton administration also reduced monthly household sampling from 60,000 to about 50,000, eliminating significant surveying in the inner cities. Despite claims of corrective statistical adjustments, reported unemployment among people of color declined sharply, and the piggybacked poverty survey showed a remarkable reversal in decades of worsening poverty trends.
Somehow, the Clinton administration successfully set into motion reestablishing the full 60,000 survey for the benefit of the current Bush administration's monthly household survey.
Up until the Clinton administration, a discouraged worker was one who was willing, able and ready to work but had given up looking because there were no jobs to be had. The Clinton administration dismissed to the non-reporting netherworld about five million discouraged workers who had been so categorized for more than a year. As of July 2004, the less-than-a-year discouraged workers total 504,000. Adding in the netherworld takes the unemployment rate up to about 12.5%.
Also the BLS employees could be manipulated without them even knowing it. Phone numbers of high unemployment areas could have been reduced or eliminated from their pool of numbers they call to survey. The CIA can do many things that these BLS employees would never catch.
Nah..what they are not telling you is that part time employment is now driving the UE number down.
500K+ part time jobs got created. It's right in the BLS report.
Here's another good analysis. Basically it was 582,000 part time jobs that lowered the UE number.
We are recovering based on part time work. That should bring the economy roaring back and the consumer fat with bucks to spend......
of course they don't the O'team should wake up and realize that there are more of us out here
that sees through this bull shi* than the ones who think this is right
this is going to bite obama in his skinny ass
he is about as stupid as can be
we have him 4 years and his horrible record
his hope and change was a big lie and he keeps lying
he has repeted so many lies I have lost count!!
keep it up, mr president,and you are going to loose HUGE!!
I think we can now safely assume that Obama, Eric Holder, Michelle, Bill Ayers and some latter-day Mau Maus put together these numbers in the dark of night to foist upon good Americans in order to fool them into voting back into power our resident dictator.

Exactly! Allen West is so cool, calm and collected. They are spinning lies, as usual. They know no bounds to what they will pull to get this bozo reelected, and keep this downward spiral going.
I wanted West for the GOP candidate for President this year and sure do pull for him whenever he is needed again. That fool was trying to take him like Matthews did on his sister station yesterday and getting his head handed to him by Jack Welch. They are funny but still getting by with it all.
That's why anyone with a half of brain should have known right away that those job numbers were fraudulent
Oh they are not fraudulent. They told the truth about the number of full time jobs.
They just didn't make it very publicly known that it was near 600K part time jobs that drove the number down. That's why all the debating going on.
If losing 100K doesn't budge the UE number, then how can gaining 100K make it go down .3 ?
Well it didn't. The devil is in the details. 600K part time jobs would move it though as even a part time job is considered "a job" for all the BLS cares.
