Republicans in Congress have had policies which suppress consumer demand. Such as what? Passing laws in the House that were stalled and killed by the DO NOTHING DEMOCRATIC Senate? Democrats running the DO NOTHING Senate for 6 years suppress everything, but will allow you to eat horse meat now. How cool...............

Hide the decline Economic statisticians can utilize the climate scientists' trick too: The jobless rate declined to 8.6 percent, the lowest since March 2009, from 9 percent, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. Payrolls climbed 120,000, with more than half the hiring coming from retailers and temporary help agencies, after a revised 100,000 rise in October. The median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey called for a 125,000 gain..... The decrease in the jobless rate reflected a 278,000 gain in employment at the same time 315,000 Americans left the labor force. The labor participation rate declined to 64 percent from 64.2 percent. This appears to be nothing more than the usual statistical shenanigans. By claiming that the labor force is shrinking, those who have left it are not counted as jobless, therefore unemployment is considered to have fallen, therefore more people are employed even though a smaller percentage of the growing population has jobs than before. However, the more important number, the EPR, did continue to tick upwards to an unadjusted 58.7 percent, the same as last month. This means that the jobs situation is marginally better than one year ago, when it was 58.4 percent. voxday.blogspot.com ht gregoree

I am not sure what the 315,000 who dropped out of the labor force means. Please explain it to me. Are they all lottery winners?

I am so sorry the correct figure is 487,000 dropped out of the labor force what ever that means. Now if brilliant barry can get that figure each and every month between now and november 2012 he is a definate winner. Is this something out of the alinsky play book?
