Here we go again. The numbers I posted are directly from the bls webiste at www.bls.gov. You posted your numbers from wikipedia.

Sounds like you trust wikipedia over bls. So be it. I wouldn't, though. Wikipedia is posted by civilians, whereas bls is posted by people who's job it is to gather the numbers. Of course, we can have a discussion of whether the government manipulates their numbers, but I think you'd prefer we not go there.
