1. Never mind....

they already took it down. Wow...fucking bastards!

[truthpusher]

2. Looks Like they fixed it

I also saw it - it said that there were 300k new jobs "far more than economists predictions" Weird :crazy:

4. Hmmm, do I smell favoritism? n/t

[Drifter]

8. Damn it ...

I saw it and had the window open (even after they scrubbed it). Closed it by accident. Meant to save the graphic.

The Large headline said 300,000 New jobs. The first line said 200,000 new jobs. Significantly more than experts expected.

3. WTF? Didn't see it. They are fast.

They can't spell either.."Oil prices HOVER near $50 a barrel"

[stewert]

5. Huh ?

It says breaking news 96,000 new jobs were created, where did you get the 300,000 from.

And they predicted 150,000 new jobs would be created, looks like bad news for Bush. Of course they will spin it by saying the economy added 96,000 jobs, even though it takes 150,000 new jobs per month just to break even with the population growth etc.

What a biased headline though, check it out:

Upcoming jobs report could help Bush

How can they say this in the article, when it says breaking news only 96,000 jobs created in september.

Forecasters expect the Labor Department to report the economy added about 158,000 jobs last month, which would be the best result in four months.

I see some big time bias for Bush in that article.

6. There first headline

was actually prepared using info that Bush & Co had leaked..kinda like how you have seen reports about the debates, written before the debate.

What tools they are!

7. Just got this from MSNBC's breaking news email alert:

"U.S. economy created only 96,000 new jobs in September - In a blow to President Bush, the U.S. economy created only 96,000 new jobs in September, fewer than economists had predicted."

9. I am sorry, why would the "leaks" all week suggest better numbers?

How stupid are these people?

why would you increase people's expectations and then come out with lower than expected numbers?

10. GOP's favorite jobs report, the household survey, shows 585,000 jobs lost

Household Jobs show disaster-labor force drops 1 million, job loss of 585K

The GOP's favorite DOL jobs number, the Household survey number, shows bigger Job disaster than shown in the anemic 96,000 jobs gain in the payroll survey jobs number. The Household Survey reports 201,000 lost jobs in September since 139,681,000 were "seasonal adjusted" employed in Aug less 139,480,000 of Seasonal adjusted folks Employed in Sept., and that is a drop of 201,000 jobs. If you prefer numbers that are not seasonally adjusted, then 140,226,000 less 139,641,000, or 585,000 jobs were lost in Sept.

And that Steady 5.4% Unemployment rate is based on folks no longer being in the labor pool and therefore not counted as unemployed. The seasonal adjusted change is from 147,704,000 looking for work or employed in August to 147,483,000 looking for work or employed in Sept, or 221,000 folks dropped out. If you like non-seasonally adjusted numbers, then 148,166,000 less 147,186,000, or a huge 980,000 folks stopped looking for work or being employed in Sept.

NEARLY ONE MILLION FOLKS STOPPED LOOKING FOR WORK OR BEING EMPLOYED IN SEPTEMBER!!!!
