Midknight Review -- new and revised: Real Unemployment Set At 10.1% According To Gallup

From The Hill, we have this prediction: The unemployment rate is projected to rise to 9.7 percent from 9.6 percent in September as more people entered the job market looking for work.

We at Midknight Review, know that these estimates are often inaccurate. It is possible that the predicted increase is a set-up designed to lessen the impact of bad news three weeks before the elections. We will know how this plays out tomorrow.

In the meantime, understand this: according to Gallup, the actual rate of unemployment is 10.1% The difference between Government's numbers (9.5% - 9.6%) and the Gallup figure is the unemployed part-time worker population. Gallup counts them, the Feds ignore this class of workers.

The numbers being released tomorrow relating to national unemployment percentages will be the last numbers released before the midterm elections. Undoubtedly, there is pressure to keep this unemployment number at 9.5% or lower. If it goes up, it simply means that things are worse than the Administration wants to admit.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
