Obama Administration cooking the books? Unemployment over 10% in November
Mainstream media (msm) reports have focused on the "doctored up" figure of 8.3%, as shown on BLS Table A-2, while a little digging shows a figure of 10.2% unemployment, down from 10.5% in October, as shown on BLS Table A-15.
The msm also overlooks the fact that the total number of people employed dropped by 200k, from 65,859k in October to 65,649k in November yet somehow, inexplicably, the percentage of those unemployed also decreased by 0.2%.
