<<Industry analysts don't know what they are doing.>> Industry analysts are wrong constantly....Other wise they would be sending in their orders from their yachts.they have an impossible job...Predicting the future numbers.... These numbers have nothing to do with "government projects run and monitored by government agencies". That the government can't run projects efficiently has nothing to do with our discussion. The Government figures we are discussing are not the result of any government analysts or any other predicting process. They are the result of information gathering ...After the fact collecting of numbers...It's arithmetic. It could be done by school children...If it must be revised that's becuz all the numbers hadn't been available for counting at the time of the first release ....You are comparing apples and oranges. Perhaps you may not agree with the models used but as long as the models are consistant month to month and year to year it is the best description of change in employment that we have. The question is.. Are they faking for political reasons or not....Not can they do the number gathering.
