Like I said in the other thread... I'm about 90% sure now, that we calculate the jobs number seasonal adjusted... and the unemployment rate isn't.

Though yeah, unemployment rate is stupidly calculated because it doesn't take into account participation rate.

Also, the people rushing to call Richard a conservative make me laugh. Really shows who pays attention in the off topic and who doesn't.



July, august where adjusted and added jobs.  ADP that does pay rolls said last month that there where 200,000 jobs and they are usually right. Will jobs report came out and said 98,000. THey have adjusted it up to 180,000 or so, don't quote me. However you seem to be like every other, in denial. You always find negatives and say it isn't true when it doesn't favor your position. Seems most of my debates have been right and you will deny that too!!!

 

Make sure to catch rush limbaugh monday, he will deny it too.

Hunh?   What i'm suggeting is that far more people were actually hired then the 114,000 listed mentioned.  Though said number is "reduced" when reported due to seasonal adjustments which tries to normalize monthly job growth for things like holiday seasonal hiring paterns.

That would be considered a postive for Obama... and more or less the last thing Limbaugh would want to say.

Seasonally adjusted unemployment is higher then unadjusted unemployment because of this.

 

Rush limbaugh will likely say it's a conspiracy and complain about the participation rate, while still at dangerous lows, wasn't really a factor this jobs report.
