Every month (on average), for about a year, there has been a startling discrepancy between employment as measured by the household survey and jobs as reported by the establishment survey. I believe the discrepancy is yet another Obamacare artifact. http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogs...nt-analysis-suggests.html#IjT4rIEWC27m8dUP.99
Straw man. People have been arguing about how unemployment is measured since before Obama was even elected. The first time. And anyone who believes that unemployment is as low as claimed by anybody hasn't been paying attention.
The labor force participation rate keeps plunging. Certainly there are some demographic factors, but the Obamanomics/Obamacare effect is definitely in play as well.
John Williams' take on government numbers... at Shadow Government Stats. Biggest discrepancies are in Unemployment and Inflation Rate... no surprise there.... considering how those numbers are paraded in front of undereducated, parasite-class voters. http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data
