Unemployment down to 7.8%

Very convenient for the president.
Especially when only 114k jobs were added. I might be buying into the BLS being rigged.
This makes unemployment .1% lower than when he took office.
ETA: U6 remained unchanged.

the unemployment rate is a complete joke and fabrication. I do not see how anyone can take that rate seriously.

Yup.
AP says that July and August were revised upwards, and also this:
quote:
Still, many of the jobs added last month were part time. The number of people with part-time jobs who wanted full-time work rose 7.5 percent to 8.6 million.
Somehow, I just don't feel like we are all better off.

BLS = Soviet ministry spouting the regime's propaganda...

The two month revised figures are pretty good, but as was said I wouldn't put too much stock in NFP anymore. Post '08, the seasonal adjustments are very construed and the birth/death adjustment is beyond a joke. Also, as was said this was entirely part-time jobs.

I mean, how many months have they consistently revised the numbers upward? It will probably be around 8.2 once they do I suspect.

nothing short of fabrication and election manipulation. All the jobs were public "servants" too - government which adds nothing back to the economy.
Real unemployment is closer to 20 -23%. Ask all the under 28 years olds with college degrees that cannot find a job - 55% are unemployed with huge student loan debts. Nothing short of moden day endured servants.

They manipulate the inflation numbers so why not.
