Mr Vet > After seasonal adjustments and statistical massaging, that number was magically transformed from a mere 7,000 to a magical market-busting 308,000. David Copperfield couldn't do better. But it's those numbers which will do the trick because economists the world over believe them. One has only to listen to CNN, BBC or CNBC to hear the mantra about "job creation" repeated over and over. No-one doubts the figures. And, what's the difference anyway? Those who can see, see, and those who can't, don't give a damn.
