Obama used the Department of Labor to scam unemployment numbers. Now, after the election, the truth comes out.

Point of post:  honest estimates as to job loss due to the hurricane,  Sandy,  is somewhere between 25,000 to 45,000.  You will hear this number used by defenders of Obama.  As you listen to the BS from the Obama camp,  remember that those jobs were lost AND COUNTED in the first week's report.  Statistically,  first time claims because of Sandy (it hit New York October 29 - 30) have very little to do with the last two reports.  

You have been scammed by the Obama BS Re-election machine. Once again,  we have elected a Democrat who has never run a fruit stand,  and the beat goes on.  Thanks for nothing,  Democrats.  This is all on you and those who voted for your "policies,"  unstated as they may be.

WEEK ENDING	Advance Nov. 24	Nov. 17	Change	Nov. 10	Prior Year1

Initial Claims (SA)	393,000	416,000	-23,000	451,000	399,000

The above comes directly from the Department of Labor site.  In the above case,  DoL is reporting on weekly unemployment claims.  Understand that these are folks who have lost their jobs,  for the first time in over a year.  Before the election,  the DoL was reporting numbers in the 350,000 range and Obama was saying,  "We tried their way and it didn't work.  We tried it our way,  and it did work."  And the illiterate voter,  the Democrat one toothers among us,  said "See,  he really is a genius."  

Turns out that the first report following the election was not 339,000 or 350,000 (as before the election).  Instead,  that first post-election report was a whopping 451,000 --  83,000 more than "expected!!"    The second report [following the election] was finalized at 416,000 and this week's number (393,000) will be close to 400,000 by the time the DoL fully discloses its first time claims.
