“The guys at Bloomberg and CNBC are shall we say somewhat skeptical?”
As they should be. As the saying goes, ‘Figures don’t lie, but liars figure.’
My imagination has me thinking of Mr. Obama et al on the phones all day Thursday with the Department of Labor saying “what can we do to make these numbers look better?” Especially following Wednesday’s performance.
@ Coffee Steve
@lbsles
Your right but the unemployed is still too high due to obumbles administration policies.
Coffee Steve:

I’ve been looking for an article I saw that said that a new program was being implemented to do the math. Can not find it yet but will keep looking.
Wow! 12 year old Jacki Evancho on Fox & Friends singing opera. She’s rockin it and sounds like a fully grown woman. wow.
7.8% is a good thing, but if there is good there is also bad, The level of part-time workers reported the largest jump for the month, gaining 582,000.
The U-6 unemployment number, which accounts for the underemployed and those who have given up looking for jobs, held steady at 14.7 percent.
The question I have is if we increased 114,000 in jobs but the U-6 stayed steady at 14.7
Things that make you go Hum!
Could the reason for the downward trend be to that new math BLS is working?
Household survey shows a large increase since 1983.
Begs to say: Hummmmm.
Good morning all,
7.8% is a good number, no doubt. Question is of the 114,000 how many are part time seasonal jobs?
@usnretiredx2
TwilightZone goes “Hum”
Household survey shows a large increase since 1983.
Should be: Household survey shows the largest increase since 1983.
@lbsles
TwilightZone says “Hummmmm” to that which begs.
@lbsles
Since I now have a FL DL I have to change my CWP from SC to FL. All I have to do is send in the same paperwork and new finger print records. The bad thing is in SC they wave the fee to Disabled Vets but FL does not and is also twices the cost and that is X2 for both myself and wife.
@USN
The numbers are NOT making any sense, and now this
JACK WELCH: Obama Is Manipulating The Jobs Numbers Because His Debate Performance Was Awful
Looks like Welch already was predicting this last night:

SEPT. EMPLOYMENT: +114,000…
Welch: Obama manipulating numbers after debate performance…
Rate Plummets to 4.3% — For Govt Workers…
I’m not joking, there is NO way with a bare 114,000 new jobs you could have that kind of drop in the UE Number unless a massive amount of people dropped off the rolls, and yes it’s possible.
@USN
. All I have to do is send in the same paperwork and new finger print records.
DON’T They will catch you LOL
Where is Matthew and Gabriel when you need them, they are like d.d. and USN great with numbers, I’m a novice compared to those guys, even Doug
Think I found out the reason
The revisions show employers added 146,000 jobs per month from July through September, up from 67,000 in the previous three months. The unemployment rate fell from 8.1 percent in August, matching its level in January 2009 when President Barack Obama took office.
It was due to revisions. Its possible I guess
It has to have some truth because The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note climbed to 1.73 percent from 1.68 percent just before the report, a sign that investors were more willing to embrace risk and moving money from bonds into stocks.
Back to school, short day today so I won’t be long

They will be revised
How do you like my new name. The greatest tribute is a copy cat.
Let’s see
Total jobs increased 114,000 in Sept, of those 104,000 were in the private sector.
Household survey is 470,000+/- “new jobs” but not counted as job increase.
What the ffff?
This may be the new math I am referring to.
LOL@Doug I Love It
@ usnretiredx2
“Since I now have a FL DL I have to change my CWP from SC to FL.”
TX does not require a drivers lic/CHL to match.
@lbsles
The guys at CNBC which are not a baskin of righties by any means are really questioning this one. Even with the revisions it should not have changed more than .01
They are close to going beserk
@Mark2 ,
Now let’s look at the 5 trillion thing. The report Obama was referring to was from the Tax Policy Center.
I am using their revised report, key word, “Revised”
Now key points they point out,
“The Tax Policy Center (TPC) has completed a preliminary analysis of the Romney plan, based on information posted on the campaign website and email exchanges with campaign policy advisors. Because we have received no details on proposals to reduce tax preferences, the TPC analysis does not include those proposals.”
“Compared with the current law baseline, the Romney plan (absent base broadening) would cut taxes for about three-fourths of taxpayers by an average of more than $7,000. In contrast, compared with current policy, about 11 percent of tax units would see their 2015 taxes go up an average of nearly $900 while 70 percent would get tax cuts averaging almost $4,300. The tax increases reflect the expiration of three provisions enacted in 2009: the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the expansion of the earned income credit and the child credit.”
And the final statement
“Also in the absence of such base broadening, TPC estimates that on a static basis, the Romney plan would lower federal tax liability by about $900 billion in calendar year 2015 compared with current law, roughly a 24 percent cut in total projected revenue. Relative to a current policy baseline, the reduction in liability would be about $480 billion in calendar year 2015.”
Where in this is $5,000,000,000,000.00?
