Comments about ‘U.S. economy adds 96,000 jobs, rate falls to 8.1 percent’

This is just more deception. The real unemployment rate remains unknown; figures represent those receiving unemployment payments. Many have run out of benefits, duration of same differing from state to state, but still remain unemployed. Of course the under employment rate remains unknown.

Until the media and the political parties start handling this important subject honestly and intelligently, such "statistics" are little better than lies, and should meet with the cynicism and scorn they deserve.

96,000 jobs does not decrease unemployment. So does it mean less unemployment or more people giving up and stop looking for jobs? Publicizing meaningless statistics is not helpful in educating the electorate.

Did the DNC write this headline? The headline should have been "Number working falls again."

the rate fell because 300000 dropped out of the work force .... the work force shrunk. This is hideous ... but it is Obama-nomics. 4 more years 4 more years........NOT!!!!
