7.8%: This Is Economic Recovery?

July = 181,000 jobs
August = 142,000 jobs
September = 114,000 jobs

The number of jobs being added each month are in decline, yet unemployment dropped from 8.1% to 7.8%.

WSY ATS?

This is an election year ploy, pure and simple.
Anyone that says unemployment is less than 22% is lying.

Agreed, we have the Govts definition of rate of unemployment, and then we have the REAL rate of unemployment which takes those who can't claim anymore unemployment into account...

Every month they take the number of people who they claim stopped looking for work out of the equation, to keep the percentage dropping. It's called smoke and mirrors.

Here's another smoke and mirrors tactic:

Here's what the BLS showed for June 2012:

Original number: 84,000
Revised a month later to: 64,000
Revised the month after that to: 45,000

Now, let's see what BLS showed for July 2012:

Original number: 163,000
Revised a month later to: 141,000
Revised the month after that: 181,000

Here's what BLS showed for August 2012:

Original number: 96,000
Revised a month later to: 142,000

Now, in all seriousness, I have a hard time believing that June numbers dropped all the way down to 45,000 jobs and July numbers keep increasing to 181,000, but it is election season after all.

In the meanwhile, the August 2012 Mass Layoff report shows that 127,454 people were laid off.

Let's compare the LAYOFF numbers recently, shall we?

June Layoffs: 131,406
July Layoffs: 137,420
August Layoffs: 127,454

Personally, I'll be looking to see how many of these numbers keep getting revised until after the election. I'm sure they're going to start revising then down again.

if there are so many more now employed

just whay is it that food stamp claims are still rising?

are millions of people falsifying their claims to receive FoodStamps...
