Jobs numbers

[Glenn]

The Gov. has been cooking the books on the jobs numbers for a long time but it is looking more and more like they really went over the top this time. The biggest improvement in 20 years? Give me a break.

It's magic! Burger flippin' jobs are falling from the sky. Next problem.

Old cartoon I can't find online, I believe it was from New Yorker during Carter admin:

Two diners, one says "and now there are more jobs than just six months ago..."

Waiter says, "yes, I know; I have three of them".

Reminds me of this "jobs report" that just came out. Except the waiter in the cartoon probably has a college degree, too.

Give more money for more statisticians to create better models for figuring unemployment rates? Must be a Democrat.

It's easy to cook the books when one calculates a moving target. I liked what Jack Welch said about

those numbers. I imagine it's still up on Fox's site somewhere if anyone cares. The unemployment

rates have always been skewed by the way they count.

Send 2K high paying skilled trade jobs to another country and replace them with 2K low paying ware house jobs and what happens to the unemployment numbers?

Well, after R&R has been in office for 4yrs we will get to hear how their jobs record is the worst of any President in modern times, and they'll have the numbers to prove it.
