In the case of the "unemployment" number. it has always been a self serving government factoid and every administration manipulates it for the outcome they desire. |

wrote: Typically, I view government statistics that interest me "relatively," especially the ones under questions because of the inherent vagaries of data gathering and manipulation. Perhaps back in the olden days when people were using a pencil, "statistics" was an arcane science but these days it is just data base analysis. The first rule is garbage in garbage out. You can frame a "view" to make the data look almost any way you want. In the case of the unemployment number, the biggest variable is who they consider to be unemployed. In the current view, that excludes anyone who quit, was fired with cause, simply refused to apply for unemployment or anyone who was never able to get a job in the first place. You are pretty much left with the ones who were laid off, signed up for unemployment and are still eligible for benefits. |

Well, Tim, you implied government figures were not trustworthy. I don't believe much of what churches or corporations tell us is trustworthy. |

There are plenty of government agencies going over corporate books and stockholder reports with a fine tooth comb, When they misrepresent products, the lawyers are all over them, along with regulatory agencies. You certainly have to take some advertising with a grain of salt but you know more about that than us since you live in the belly of the beast. Churches just preach to the converted so they are not talking to you in the first place. Why would you care what they say ... unless it starts middle east wars? You seem to accept those claims as gospel. |
