Numbers are important to me.

Numbers are important to all of us MM; you're not "special".

Do you really think that a steady 8%+ unemployment rate for many months just miraculously lost 0.3% points in September? Doesn't that strike you as a little too convenient?

No, it doesn't. Believing that the government is cooking the books is beyond imagination. If they got caught it would destroy the confidence of the markets... stocks would crash and probably wouldn't recover for a generation or more. And exactly which high government official is in charge of this conspiracy? And which bureaucrats do you think do the dirty work? And how do they keep it secret?

Off the deep end with you MM....

The earlier jump from 7.8 or 7.9 to 8.2 was the aberration.

Something to do with college students working in the summer and going back to school. Then in September, a larger than usual number met the definition of returning to the workforce. Pretty predictable, and something Plouffe and Axelrod probably knew before the debate. I'd rather have a smart President.
