The most recent unemployment number is a total lie, and that lie was proliferated all over corporate media. The Associated Press said, “In a long-awaited surge of hiring, companies added 243,000 jobs in January – across the economy, up and down the pay scale and far more than just about anyone expected. Unemployment fell to 8.3 percent, the lowest in three years.” The report went on to say, “At the same time, the proportion of the population working or looking for work is its lowest in almost three decades. The length and depth of the recession have discouraged millions of people from looking for jobs. The better news of the past couple months has not yet encouraged most of them to start searching again.” Ron Paul Speech in Nevada: "People Are Frightened of the Government!" Here is the inconvenient truth. If it was not for accounting tricks and what the government has paraphrased as “seasonal-adjustments,” the unemployment rate would have gone up, not down! In his latest report, economist John Williams from Shadowstats.com said, “January’s unadjusted unemployment rate rose to 8.8% Read Full Story and Watch Video: Unemployment Rate Lies – 2012 Inconvenient Truth   The only difference between those numbers and the headline 243,000 January jobs gain and 8.3% unemployment rate, is how the seasonal adjustments were applied. There are serious issues with the current quality of those adjustments, and extremely small distortions in those seasonals can make big differences in the resulting headline data.” Proof The Federal Reserve is A Private Corporation BoA Dumps $75 Trillion On Taxpayers David Icke On Financial Enslavement and Occupy Wall Street Maybe you did realize that up until the Obama administration the Labor Department largely depended on state governments for each state’s specific employment statistics? Obama decided that this function should be removed from the states and centralized under his administrative guidance. Now this is the President who went from “jobs created” to “jobs created or saved” as he tried to convince the American people that his stimulus plan was working. In January, 1.2 million people dropped out of the labor force in one month! This is the largest absolute jump in 'Persons Not in Labor Force' on record and biggest percentage jump in 30 years, Zero Hedge . If these people, or a significant portion of them, were in the workforce without jobs the unemployment figure would be higher than 8.3%. So now you’re left with having to figure out whether or not you believe this many people actually said “the hell with it” in one month. The report Friday said 12.8 million people remained unemployed – 43% of them for more than six months – and that another 8.2 million part-time workers couldn’t find full-time employment, reported LA Times. The Federal Reserve just announced an extension of 0% interest rates through 2014.  The Fed didn’t do this because it thought the economy was going great.
