That's okay according to another thread. The fat cats on Wall Street are doing well. |

Ignoring the unemployed and keeping them dependent on government seems to be Obama's main goal. |

When the markets are up, most stock market investors are doing well. What's your point? |

I thought we were just looking at reports unemployment is down. Now it's actually up? |

"Since Gallup’s figures are not seasonally adjusted, the 0.7 percent rise in unemployment tracked in its survey almost certainly includes some of the seasonal factors that typically contribute to unemployment after the holiday shopping season." From millers OP. |

OK, but that is predictive of "the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) would likely report a rise in the official unemployment rate in early March, when it publishes its February figures." |

Rather than post it as if it has already been reported, why not wait until the report comes out and then post your criticism. |

Didn't I say it's predictive? I don't know what probability to assign to that prediction, but I'd say it's highly likely. As probabilities go, for single events, it could of course go either way. Sort of like climate change. |
