playing with unemployment numbers

[peterb]

If you look closely at the BLS reports, you can find the U-6 number for unemployment. The number that’s reported in the MSM is almost always the U-3 number. The lie. But the U-6, the truth, is usually about twice that of the U-3. So whatever they end up “adjusting” the U-3 to, just double it to approximate the real unemployment rate.

Regional numbers just came out today.
CA had a whoppin’ 11.5% unemployment again.

San Diego tends to be lower than the state by about a percent.

[quote=Rt.66]Report rosey (fake) unemployment numbers, stock market rallies.

Wait for some other form of rosey (fake) news (perhaps housing starts) and report it along with actual (less fake) downward revised employment numbers; stock market goes up.

Wash-rinse-repeat enough times and the sheeple start to feel like its safe to put the 201k portion they have left of their old 401k back into the market.
