Les, the head line is that unemployment "DROPED" unexpected, instead of mentioning that the workforce shrunk by 1.2% or 1.5 % not to mention all the "seasonable adjustment" and exclusions.

On same statistics unadjusted numbers point to 6.3% unemployment and not the 5.6% advertised

Government reporting is all a scam driven by who ever is in power
