I wonder how the Dems will spin today's unemployment news. The voters have to be educated to consider U6, the number which includes discouraged workers and those who have been looking for work for more than a year.....it's been steady at 14-15%. Good job, O! We already know the spin: 1) It is Bush's fault 2) Romney will end medicare as we know it, take away your birth control, give big tax breaks to the rich, ruin the environment and "put Ya"all back in chains" 3) Pay no attention to that man behind the screen.....

Re : Unemployment news : bbc.co.uk "The US economy created 96,000 jobs in August, according to official figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The unemployment rate fell to 8.1%, compared with 8.3% in July. Employment increased in food services and drinking places, professional and technical services and healthcare, the Bureau said. But the figure was lower than expected and revisions to June and July data mean that 41,000 fewer jobs were created than previously reported. Economists had expected non-farm payrolls to grow by 125,000. The percentage of Americans who either have a job or who are looking for one fell to 63.5%, the lowest participation rate since 1981. The weak figure will put pressure on President Barack Obama in his re-election campaign, given than rival Mitt Romney has put jobs at the centre of the national debate........."
