I thought you liked numbers, VB.
"So there is real if modest improvement over the past year. Also, the September numbers looks not like an aberration but like a return to trend from what looks like noise in the data over the previous couple of months. "This story is, by the way, broadly consistent with the payroll data, from a different survey, which also suggest employment growing somewhat faster than population." |

Yeah, Paul Krugman would never cherry pick the numbers he's looking for.

Although it isn't the case with this particular unemployment #, most of the downtick in unemployment has been from people dropping out of the labor force, not new jobs.

Hasn't the unemployment rate been inching downward steadily for 3 years or so?
Why would anyone be surprised that it went down some more? The Dow has more than doubled since early 2009. Doesn't that mean the "job creators" are doing really well? Does that mean the unemployment rate should be even lower? |

The BLS is a technical unit within the Dept of Labor, populated by civil service geeks. The idea that they would all participate in a conspiracy to cook the numbers is pretty laughable; the possibility that it could be done without someone immediately blowing the whistle is beyond belief.

I agree with your math... We as a species typically can't keep secrets very well. |
