Shocking Surprise: BLS Unemployment Falls Sharply In Final Reporting Months Before Election




September 2012 unemployment rate falls to 7.8%


The unemployment rate in September fell from 8.1% to 7.8%, the lowest since January 2009, as Americans benefited from a surge in part-time work, the Labor Department said Friday.

The jobless rate fell sharply because it’s calculated from a different survey than the official employment number. That household survey showed a robust 873,000 increase in employment and a 456,000 decline in unemployment.

But the figures are preliminary and subject to revision. In a troubling sign, the decline in employment previously reported in July and August was revised downward: an additional 12,000 jobs were cut in July and 3,000 in August. Also, in the 12 months ending in March, the Labor Department revised its previous estimates of private payrolls, showing that businesses shed an extra 371,000 jobs more than previously reported.

It’s sort of odd how the unemployment rate either plunges sharply leading up to a federal election, or has to be revised upward to reflect overhyped initial estimates, isn’t it?

You’d almost thing the Bureau of Lies and Statistics is trying to influence elections for the Democrats, wouldn’t you?

That’s just crazy talk. I know.

I have no reason to believe a thing the government says anymore.

Republicans need lots of campaign workers this season. They're pretty desperate.

Denver Census Bureau Supervisors Says Unemployment Numbers Are Being Faked…




Not the first time we’ve heard this.

Via NY Post:


A field supervisor in the Census Bureau’s Denver region has informed her organization’s higher-ups, the head of the Commerce Department and congressional investigators that she believes economic data collected by her office is being falsified.

And this whistleblower — who asked that I not identify her — said her bosses in Denver ignored her warnings even after she provided details of wrongdoing by three different survey takers.

The three continued to collect data even after she reported them.

When I spoke with this whistleblower earlier this year as part of my investigation of Census, she told me that hundreds of interviews that go into the Labor Department’s unemployment rate and inflation surveys would miraculously be completed just hours before deadline.

The implication was that someone with the ability to fill in the blanks on incomplete surveys was doing just that.

The Denver whistleblower also provided to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform the names of other Census workers who can spill the beans about data fraud in other regions.

Census is broken up into six regions. Cheating has already been proven in the Philadelphia region. And with this whistleblower’s letter, Census authorities now have allegations that the same kind of nonsense was going on in Denver — that office covers Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Wyoming

Obama oughta herald a government report that average penis size grew 6 inches during his 6 year reign. Most of us would know the report is bullshit but every liberal with a mini-meat would feel optimistic.

Those outta work know it, and liberals feel optimistic, like they do at Christmas.
