I am sure the figures were supposed to spike up again to prove the Democrats had manipulated the numbers to let Obama get elected again

Oooooops - they did it again

Good to see unemployment down. Sad to see that the first thing we do when unemployment goes down is point and laugh at political opponents. It's a win for all Americans, though the fact that so many more of those lucky enough to have jobs are in low wage jobs now compared to the past is very troubling.

UE rate this time not a great indicator, but high likelihood that Sandy is the cause of it. It's pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain the books weren't cooked.

employed went down slightly as did unemployed and the rate dropped because people left the workforce. But again, Sandy is a big reason for all of this. Next month will be interesting.

All this proves is that we have job growth despite Obama's policy, not because of it.

Well that's certainly a nice lose/lose construct you've set up there.

more people dropped out of the labor force than entered

the smaller denominator makes the % decrease



start the impeachment proceedings, huh cons?
