Check this out.

By the way, here is my reliable source.

Where is yours?

Oh, I forgot! ... You never have one!

Ha-Ha!

" And a key reason the unemployment rate fell so much was because roughly 315,000 people had given up looking for work and were no longer counted as unemployed."

As your "reliable source" states:

The U.S. unemployment rate fell last month to its lowest level in more than two and a half years as employers stepped up hiring in response to the slowly improving economy.


Ha ha!

Your reliable source does not say 350,000 people stopped looking for work!

Ha ha!

And your reliable source is wrong to say 315,000 people stopped looking for work. The workforce declined 315,000 which doesn't mean they stopped looking for work!

Ha ha!

And if you're going to blame the drop in unemployment because of the decline in the workforce, you'll have to explain how it was the unemployment rate dropped from 9.1% in April, when the workforce was 462,000 lower than it is now!

Seasonally adjusted. Nice try though.

It's an illusion.

Personally I think that Obama is simply lying out his ass.

But it could also be some temporary hiring for Christmas that will not last.

The data is seasonally adjusted.

You think that Obama is simply lying out his ass about what?
