obummers false under 8 % unemployment claim, just in time for election.

As this graph from Shadow Government Statistics shows, the unemployment rate, if discouraged workers were included, would be close to 24 percent. John Williams, Shadow Government Statistics author, provides some very interesting reading on how the BLS arrives at its unemployment and jobs figures.

The problem is, of course, that a vast number of the voting population will never do any research, will believe without question what the MSM reports, and will vote accordingly.

But that's just my opinion.

Yep!
Already predicted that one a long time ago! Also watch, a more than likely, a upward tick in the stock market just before the election.

[powderman]

I wonder what the figures would be if the election was held 1st Tues in Feb. ?? Like the article says it's probably right at 24 % in reality.
 
Lots of places hiring PART TIME, TEMPORAY help now, for the upcoming holidays. Come the 1 st of Jan they'll be right back unemployed, course by then the deception and election will be over. POWDERMAN.

How about this explanation:  How long do you think these jobs will last?

O’s secret jobs plan may be his campaign hiring

   John Crudele  Wow! Is President Obama lucky, or what?
It was announced Friday that the nation’s unemployment rate declined a stunning 0.3 percentage points in September to 7.8 percent. So just days after a thoroughly panned performance in a national debate with Mitt Romney, the president can now show off unexpectedly good news about the economy.
Lucky, or what?
Probably “what.” The 873,000-job gain in September followed a 119,000 loss of jobs in August. That sort of turnaround is just too unbelievable and it is probably not to be believed.
When they were called by the Labor Department, 142,000 additional people claimed to be self-employed. So, in August, did all those people who were out of work suddenly get the urge to go into business for themselves?
   How? What kind of business? Or, were they just making this up so they’d look better to the surveyors?
And this one will cause you to have a bald spot: 368,000 people aged 20 to 24 years old said they suddenly found work in September. This group had lost jobs in August and the figure was so out of the ordinary that John M. Galvin, acting commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, saw fit to note it in his comments Friday.
But the Labor Department couldn’t, or didn’t, explain what was going on.
Here’s my thought. People between 20 and 24 years old typically work on political campaigns. So maybe employment in this age group surged because President Obama was hiring campaign workers.
The irony, of course, is that the president could be not only the beneficiary of this hiring boom but also the employer responsible for it.
There’s a punch line in all this. If the improvement in the jobless rate really was a fluke of seasonal adjustments and the result of campaign hiring, then it should reverse itself next month.
And President Obama might be faced with a horrible jobless number just days before the election.

All that stuff about U6 and U3 is way over my head. But I suspect the unemployment rate is much higher than claimed also. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it true that people that have run out of unemployments are not included in these figure's? Last I heard, central Ore had a 13% unemployment rate and that was inflated because a lot of unemployed people let the area to find work. What if all those that left were still here?

[magooch]

It's not rocket science, or even complicated math.  Are there more, or fewer jobs now than there were before the 2008 elections?  I have no idea, but my guess is that there are fewer.  And when you couple that with the increase in poopulation, plus the number of illegal invaders, the employment picture is far from rosey.

[dwalk]

what's surprising about it?

it's now known that obama cheated by way of ACORN votes...just ONE example...nothing was said or done about it...

IMO...obama is NOT to be trusted...

it was with shock and dismay that i watched him be elected for one term and i am astounded that he hasn't been thrown from office for his dismal record...and to think there are still those who would RE-elect him is beyond belief.

but...if a person wants higher taxes, higher health care costs, less financial freedom, higher energy costs, higher unemployment...by all means...obama is YOUR candidate...

it is my OPINION that those who support obama, do so out of fear of being called "Racist" by the left.

Our pastors wife lost her job several months ago after giving 23 years of her life to her employer. She has found NOTHING. Seems to be a lot of that going around. POWDERMAN.
