Obamanomics
 
Headline reads, "JOB CRISIS EASES"

The nation added 103,000 jobs in September according to the Labor Dept.
However, the 45,000 Verizon strikers were counted as job
gains as the strike ended. Unless they took the 45,000 off when they went
on strike, these are funnie #s.

Do you know they didn't?

Yes, the striking workers were taken off the rolls in August.

A chief economist at Moody's said the numbers were good although not great.

Sorry, but no funny math.

Good, then they should be accurate. Let's see what happens when the
revised #s are posted.

Those are the real numbers.

Good, at least they didn't rise over the August 9.1%
The numbers hardly reflect the AP headline as stated above, "Job Crisis Eases"

Having 2 family members looking for work for over a year, one for 14
months I am happy to see any increase in jobs.

What is your source as to the 45,000 verizon strikers taken off the employment rolls
in August as I haven't been able to find anything on the BLS.
