    but the little upswing is only to deliver loads to fast food restaurants only.

    It's not?

    This thread is about the independent Gallup poll which shows the unemployment rate at 7.5%. It didn't say anything about U3.

    seen no such thing, but have seen republicans try to bash it cause they thought a couple 1\10 of a percent drop was like parting the sea or something

    Which means Obama DID tinker with the Welfare Reform mandate that one has to be
    looking for work in order to qualify for Welfare.

    The executive order was to allow each state to determine it's ruling process on the work requirement, whether they wanted to keep it, remove it or amend it in some way.

    If someone is collecting an unemployment check, then they are registered, even if their state doesn't require them to seek work, otherwise how would they receive a check if they aren't in the system?

    Why do we have to keep explaining to you how Unemployment is counted? It has nothing to do with who is on Unemployment benefits. They're two different things. You can be counted as unemployed and not be on benefits. The only requirement to being counted as unemployed is if you've been looking for work in the past 4 weeks. Neither the BLS or Gallup even look at EDD enrollment numbers.

    Everyone knows the Unemployment numbers are cooked.

    We need at least 150,000 or better just to keep up with population growth.

    Do you think you're being clever with posts like that? Because you're not.

    Here is how a debate works. If you disagree with someone you provide an opinion and back it up with facts.

    Here is how an elementary school debate works. If you disagree with someone you personally attack them and get bonus points for using the words "behind", "pee pee", or "poop".

    Which tactic did you use?

    Why is there a story out that Gallup's economist is now in agreement with Jack Welch
    about a cooking of the Books.That the new Unemployment rate doesn't flush.

    BAHAHAHAHA.

    Actually no, I am saying right now its 4%. I took people who died who were still working and put them back on the job, subtracted out a few million jobs as them no long existing and added in 10 million jobs in green energy by just assuming they were created from all the money we wasted on them.

    How do YOU know? You have high level access to what numbers are real and which aren't? That's ridiculous, Iriemon.

    And you think YOUR world view is correct even though it comes from LEFT wing propoganda? Who told you that? Oh, let me guess. Was it the left wing which tells you that the left wing is correct?
