Could you please provide a link to this thread please? (where you got your chart) thanks!
Sure. I have compiled the data from the Department of Labor many times before. To get the data, don't read the weekly news releases as they are all lies.
You have got to go to the Department of Labor site and read the data in the weekly report. There they list the ACTUAL numbers as they come in from the states. They then adjust the data any damn way they please and use it for political purposes to please the administration that is in power. Obama thinks that the way to an economic recovery is to rally the stock market. Naive, but that is what he is trying to do even though that does not create jobs. To make people think that everything is rosy, he has the DOL claiming in most of the weekly reports that Unemployment Insurance Claims are going down and down and down and down. Meanwhile, they have been going up and up and up and up. This level of total dishonesty has never before been seen in the US. Obama thinks that almost all Americans are really stupid and will believe anything that comes out of Washington. Well, I don't believe it, because I can see if with my own eyes. My home made chart, by the way is being spread all over the internet. That is good.
