Census Bureau Suggests Job Manipulation Was Not Systematic
Following the White House's ignorance of anything that could be going on at the Census Bureau (apart from knowing for sure that the report on jobs data manipulation was misleading), the Census Bureau itself has chimed in...
- *CENSUS BUREAU SEES NO 'SYSTEMIC MANIPULATION' OF JOBS DATA
So that's good then - just unsystematic? A single-manipulator, acting alone (from the book depository?)

Lololololololololol....lol....Tyler..just killin' it today.
Double up on that short the Comedy Central Network position...no freakin' way those guys can do anything more laughable than the US Federal Government. Not a chance.
either manipulation isn't systemic, ergo the chicago crew did it for political gain, ergo they need to be sent packing.... or it is, and the system needs to be rebooted... or.... C all of the above..
The system is down at the moment, is all you need to know. Translation, the younguns didn't pay up, and now there is no plan B.
They bought the low (informed and wage earners) and sold out the country.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
Let's see here, who does the Census Bureau report to, again?
Ah, yes, I remember now: http://www.govexec.com/oversight/2009/02/obama-shifts-census-oversight-triggering-angry-protest-by-republicans/28517/
/rehypothecator that is a great find. Most people had completely forgotten about that. It's nice to know now that whenever I have an issue with the Census Bureau I can always call Valerie Jarrett.
Furthermore, left unasked by the mass media, is why the Census Bureau would even have any opinion whatsoever about job numbers. They count people, so asking them for opinions about job statistic legitimacy is suspicious, it makes so little sense. It's sort of like asking Hollywood movie stars how to forge peace in the Middle East.
There is a difference between systematic and systemic manipulation although I suspect we have both going on here.
From now the presumption should be that everything is manipulated unless proven otherwise.
A rogue manipulator in the Cinci office.
Jinx,
You owe me a Coke.
I didn't know the Census Bureau had a branch in Cincinnati.
At least the administration has all of the notes from the IRS scandal. They just need to replace IRS with Census and BLS in the scripts. Rouge IRS workers in one small field office to Rouge Census and BLS workers in one small office. Top level IRS management didn't know a thing to Top level Census and BLS management didn't know a thing. Management can shout that they are innocent and then invoke the 5th amendment. We have 3 more years of this.
It was professor plum in the study with the candle stick.
Oh right, the old "we got caught lying before, but you can trust us now".
IETS AA COMPUUTERGLIETCH!!
HAPPENS ALL THE TIME IN AAMERICAA!!
BUT NOW OUR BEST TECHNICIAN COMPUTER GUYS ARE WORKING ON IT... WE CALLED INDIA YES... PROBLEM SOLVED...
OBAMA: It's God's fault. I was praying for more Obamacare enrolments and fewer unemployed and he got it back the front.
Obama is praying...kneeling...on a rug...facing Mecca. Ahsalaam malakem. Allahu akbar. Kazoon-tite.
Nice. It was just a one time thing that happened to be right before a presidential election when the unemployment rate was a huge issue. Whew, I'm so relieved it wasn't an ongoing conspiracy to mislead the American people and capital markets on the state of the economy or anything.
What did the President know, and when did he know it.
You can bet the advisors and the political wonks said to the President that they would "fix" the number before the election....that is a Democratic rule number 1 ...
What did the President know, and when did he know it.
Well, with 0zer0 the 1st answer is "He didn't know". And the 2nd answer is "This week after I read the papers." But he's the smartest prez evuh!
The sad thing is when Ozer0 says he doesn't know anything about everything, it is easy to believe him.
Census Bureau... who the fuck are you talking to? everyone knows the colour of your dirty laundry. The problem is that the majority don't seem to care.
So instead of dickhead press releases how about you just shut up, fuck off and carry on doing the same old shit.
The big reset is coming, thats where you'll find justice.
Just a couple of rogue employees in Cleveland, move on, nothing to see.
Que Dan Rather disciples in the lame stream media..."It's fake but accurate."
The White House is right. They only lied a couple of times, when it really mattered.
....it was just a couple of rogue agents in Cleveland who took it upon themselves to do this....oops, wrong thread, that was the IRS.....
Damn rogue traders!......oops wrong scandal.
It was all caused by a movie according to the administration. Besides, if you liked your job, you can keep it.
When your eyes are shut tight, it is easy to not see almost anything.
You are referring to the media?
These "moles" who reside in government jobs need to be exposed and fired.
They are following orders given by people with a political agenda or following an approved agenda with political motives.
They can LIE openly and still retain their jobs.

Stop the madness
i yell at my kids all the time to "tell the truth" ... it used to matter, now I honestly think I'm preparing them poorly for the world they have to live in
... it used to matter, now I honestly think
There you go again. Lying is tough to learn if you're a decent person. You're right though, honesty will only hold you back in the rat race.
If I had a dollar for every time gov't/GSE's or banking cartel lied, pillaged, misled and exploited its 99%...I'd be richer than than the leeches like Buffit et al.
For the cynical disbelievers, the Census Bureau will be issuing a Report confirming the unsystemicness of the fraud written by a guy named Warren.
Meanwhile the WH has issued a new Executive Order:
"If I like your plan, you can keep your plan. If I like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Period."
Rogue BLSer?
It depends on your context and definition of the the word "systematic" and the word "manipulation" may or may not be. Used together in or out of context, the word or words may, in fact or by mere supposition on the reader/listener's part, communicate incorrectly the recollection on an individual or group of individuals' basis.
BUT IT WAS MOST CERTAINLY NOT A LIE AND HOW DARE YOU QUESTION US, YOU RACIST SLOPEHEAD FROM FLYOVER COUNTRY.
they're implying rogue employees?
if 2200 census employees interview 60,000 households representing 110,000 individuals per month, that means each census employee is responsible for 50 responses to the survey...since most of those are employed already, the opportuntiy to switch survey answers from unemployed is minimal...with the labor force participation rate less than 65%, the average number of unemployed each employee would interview would be around 4...with each survey answer representing around 22K in the final totals, it's unlikely one rouge employee could reduce the number of uemployed by more than 100K...with a margin of error of +/- 300,000 in the monthly change in the number unemployed and +/- 0.2% in the employment rate, it would take at least 4 census employees falsifying every unemployed person they interview to swing a change larger than the margin of error...
We're bound to hear it sooner or later. Any day now. Wait. There it is. "Bush's fault."
