The unemployment rate is calculated with HOUSEHOLD DATA which did show 227k increase in employment and 325k decrease in unemployment in November 2009 http://stats.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm
I do not assume the author of the article intended to mislead his/her readers. Rather, I assume he/she did not understand statistics. To me, as long as the methodologies of collecting, analysing and presenting data are consistent, the stats are valid. Everything is relative to a reference point. |
