[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1187812, member: 44954"] I'm not Obama, or an Obama supporter, so why did you say YOU blamed the bad economy on Bush? Because the unemployment numbers are not just meant so YOU can know about unemployment. Unemployment numbers along with a lot of other economic indicators are used by people in banking, finance, and a lot of other sectors. If the bureau of labor statistics waits 3 months to put out the figures, people can't respond to the changing economy as quickly. The "truthful" numbers(as you put it) are released once a year, when the survey data is replaced with a comprehensive count of the unemployment insurance rolls. Do you want to wait a year? People who actually need these numbers, know that they are only estimates. The problem is that you don't. Hopefully now you do. [/QUOTE]
