Jobelss Claims numbers

[RiverRat1]

"The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell sharply last week to the lowest level in more than four and a half years, according government data on Thursday"

This a few weeks before elctions

And...

"The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent last month, dropping below 8 percent for the first time in nearly four years "

Hmmmm.. Anyone believe this after seeing what really happened in Lybia?

Never trust data that the gov cooked.

What???? You dont really think someone would manipulate data they are in charge of to have it come out in their favor do you? I dont believe anything from any of those yahoos anymore. They are all liars.

Don't believe it a bit.

Of course it is, watch gas over next few weeks! I've said all along unemployment around 7 and gas under 3 bucks by election!

[whodat]

True or not. Those #'s are still bad

[RiverRat1]

Just makes me sick how they manipulate numbers and people are to dumb to see it.

They seem to make it obvious and no one cares.

Pick up yesterdays Wall Street Journal and read the article about the real jobless numbers. This does not include the ones that have reached the 99 weeks of unemployment and dropped off the roles or the ones that have just quiet working, or the ones that work maybe 4 or 5 hours a week and are considereded part time that skews the numbers. The real unemployment numbers are pushing 15%!!!!!!!

Good news is that the word is out on Obama. Between the UN massacre, the debate FUBAR, unemployment and gas he is doomed.

I wish this was a safe assumption. I think most folks have their minds made up and there aren't that many to sway one way or the other.

Wait.... we have the most "explosive" job creation in 30 years weeks before the election, while there are NO OTHER CONFIRMING SIGNS OF GROWTH IN THE ECONOMY AT ALL?

[str8shooter]

Manipulated. I believe those numbers do NOT include those whose benefits have expired nor does it include those that have finally decided to drop out of the job search.
