If you believe the feds, and Associated Press apparently does since it doesn’t even bother to source its claim of 6.3 percent unemployment until the fourth paragraph, things are looking up:
“Employers added 288,000 jobs across industries from manufacturing to construction to accounting. Even local governments hired. The unemployment rate sank to 6.3 percent, its lowest point since 2008, from 6.7 percent.”
You’d be better off reading the DrudgeReport which gives the AP/Feds claim third place after “92,594,000 Americans Not Working Hits Record” and “Women Not In Labor Force Hits Record High.”
The first is from cBS’s DC affiliate, which notes: “The [6.3 percent] occurred because the number of people working or seeking work fell. The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not count people not looking for a job as unemployed.”
Isn’t that convenient?
The second headline is from the Media Research Center’s CNS News: “This means that there were 55,116,000 women 16 and older who were in the civilian noninstitutional population who not only did not have a job, they did not actively seek one in the last four weeks. That is up 428,000 from the 54,688,000 women who were not in the labor force in March.”
An increase of 428,000 unemployed women alone is a bit higher than the AP/Fed’s 288,000 rosy uptick glow.
Does anyone trust the feds anymore?
UPDATE: The new D.C. Walmart got 23,000 applications for 600 jobs.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
It is all in creative accounting then.
I think enough people know someone who is unemployed to know that the Democrat government is lying.
That’s a rhetorical question, right?
