Jobless rate rises to 8.3 percent.

The unemployment rate ticked up to 8.3 percent in July, reflecting a stagnant economic picture as hiring improved but not by enough to make a dent in the sea of unemployed Americans.
The Labor Department report, in a glimmer of positive news after three straight months of dismal jobs numbers, showed that hiring reached its best level since February, with 163,000 jobs added.

I look for obama to have a huge pep rally and champion the number of jobs created. But will skip the unemployment rate being raised to 8.3%.

Okay now, this happens every week, or just about every week.

It's been happening for a couple of years now.

How much does one want to bet the "adjusted figure" for next week will be a "correction" of 163,000 to 155,000 or something?

Every week during the latter half of Barack Milhous's administration, or just about every week, they always correct that figure for the preceding week.....downward.

I noticed that also, Frank. There is always a correction done.

And it's always revised downward.

Forty-one months of 8% or more unemployment.

How long as Barack Milhous been in the White House again?

It hasn't been below 8% his whole term. But, hey, his policies are working.

What's admitted to about the jobless rate rises to 8.3 percent

And it's still a 3 point lie.
