NFP Prints 114K, On Top Of Expectations Of 115K; Unemployment Rate Tumbles To 7.8% On Expectations Of 8.2%

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Complete preelection "massaging" farce.

The Labor force participation rate rises from 30 year lows to 63.5% to 63.6%:

The reason: the biggest reported jump in the number of employed people since January 2003, at +873,000 to 142,974. At least according to the Household data survey, which just happens to be used in the calculation of the unemployment rate. Just little bit off from the Establishment survey of +114,000.

 

and the diverging path of U-3 and U-6 unemployment rates...

Right now, I'm tapped out. I went in big just before the last move up, at 33.xx$.

I'd go in right now if I could. It is not going to stay down.

I picked up some Au also, lucky, right before the surge.

If you have spare fiats, go for it.

This is psychologically going to affect the unemployed.  The feelng that the ship is leaving the harbor without them will likely spur more people to try again at the employment thing.  As these workers who "gave up looking" begin to look again, they will not count against unemployment, but will if they get hired.

So this report is likely the catalyst for the market's new move to DOW 21,000.

See how easy trading is?  See?!

Well, those boomerang kids are back home, and with more folks under one roof, it's not inconceivable to find a hire body count working in a household.

 

The unemployment rate, however, does not fit with the job growth numbers we have had.  Even worse the job growth numbers as they are now inflated, come at the lowest profit growth levels of the last three years.

 

So as companies are now being squeezed, we are supposed to believe they are hiring? 

That does not pass the common sense test, does it?

Let’s see if this makes sense.  If employment was coming back as this report attempts to suggest than why did Bernanke add $40 Billion per month in confetti?  HiS whole spin to the country was that the employment picture was in need of help. Folks, the entire systemis a fucking fraud and its time we run this group out.  You cannot believe anything out of DC, Wall Street and certainly out of the imposters mouth, he is simply as corrupt a man as this country will ever see.

We are coming into the Holiday season.  We can expect good job reports until Jan.   Jobs pay only min wage, but so what.  Looks good on paper.

It looks good on paper as long as the printing of money is a viable option. Borrowing against tomorrow to mitigate today's declining real incomes. Party on!

It's hard to know whether this came from the top down (likely) or from the inside (as likely). If you work for the BLS and your spouse no doubt works elsewhere in the civil service are you going to make life easier for the guy that wants to shrink government?

What I find so amazing is the blatancy of the lies. I find it insulting that they would even believe we would fall for this yet at the same time I'm so depressed because so many actually will. An educational system that has abandoned critical thinking for memorization and regurgitation has arrived front and center. I'm so confused! Can you please tell me what to think?

How do you get +873,000 on the basis of 60,000 households surveyed?.. It's like suddenly everyone and his brother became employed. 

Also, from BLS FAQ: "...the household survey has a more expansive scope than the establishment survey because it includes the self-employed, unpaid family workers, agricultural workers, and private household workers, who are excluded by the establishment survey. The household survey also provides estimates of employment for demographic groups"

  Neutron Jack Welsh tweeting doubt numbers.... What up Jack? CNBS NEVER REPORTED THE SALE OF GE PLASTICS TO SAUDIES. 11,000 employees is what the number was...   What is the mater Jack can't control the news? Watch it your  ecomagination or medical welfare check might stop.  

This has been years of miss reporting and manupliation for systemic risk.... I am glad that zerohedge is using square conners on their messages boxes so the APPL lawyers are not sueing for rounded conners patents on there Samsung (imean Iphoney)   LOL funny in an information reveloution...   Grow up boys.

The number is actually down year over year for September. So I guess last September they were also "massaging" the numbers in anticipation of the election? ok.

Since jobs are supposedly getting better does that mean that Ben will quit printing money?  No hidden inflation in gas and food if employment is getting better..... If so, the market should sell off, right?

The Obama staff finally figured it out, you didn't have to hire 3 times the census workers, just cook the numbers.

Expect another huge drope before the election.

Gore claimed Obama didn't do as well due to the lack of oxygen to the brain. Thanks for the analysis Dr Gore. You also claimed you created the internet.

So if were supposed to believe this BS, then next month when the October jobs number is out, can we expect that Septembers will be raised by 50,000? And why did they wait till just after Obama's dismal failure of a debate to suddenly revise three months of data higher? Are all those jobs that were created out of thin air still there? If Junior cut the grass and now is back in school so he's not around to cut the grass, is he considered unemployed? LOL. 

Finally if things are so rosy now, do we really need QE3? Since Octobers number will be out days prior to the election, we can expect that one to be even more of a duzzy. If Obama wants lower numbers you know he will get them at the risk of losing your job if you don't manipulate them to his liking.

You'd have 0 percent unemployment if everyone was like me. Can't get myself to work no matter what.

Maybe people are catching on.

There is no reason for an American to go to work. Study your classics, your liberal arts, mathematics and physics. Practice meditation and exercise daily. Visit the Getty to see the latest sculptures. They have some new items that just came in. Time for my morning jog. Got to go. Then meet with my Swedish classmate to study biology. Busy schedule today.
