Did anyone here Tweety say the unemployment rate ticking up 9.1

[bigdarryl]

What the hell was he talking about?The unemployment numbers don't come out until Friday sounds like he already knows what the numbers are.Tweety talks so fast he doesn't know what he's saying sometimes

1. I don't know

He talks so fast that he interrupts himself and then interrupts his interruptions.

You probably heard him say something else.

3. Nope I heard him speaking about the President

And saying quote :with the unemployment rate ticking up 9.1 is there a disconnect with the White House as to what's going on in the Country

2. Dunno; tuned out when the others left.

He's not one of my favorites.

4. He's probably talking about gallups numbers.

5. Gallup numbers which aren't seasonally adjusted.

Has the economy really deteriorated just like that?

Nah, don't worry.

As The Bonddad Blog pointed out last week, this Gallup data isn't seasonally adjusted (in fact it says that in the chart right up there).

Since it's not seasonally adjusted, you have to look at it year over year, and guess what.

And guess what, a year ago Gallup was at 10% and BLS was at 9.0%. So with Gallup now being at 9%, you could surmise that BLS will stand at 8.0%, another solid drop.

6. As incestuous as the media elite/political world is I'm not at all surprised that Matthews

would have advance knowledge of a figure that is to be released next Friday. His only fault will be in letting it slip that he knew.

7. A week ago, Gallup had the unemployment rate going up to 9%...

I'm guessing that's what he is talking about. No one knows, though, what the number will be. In fact, every prediction I've read the last few months were wrong. Take last month, the consensus was that the unemployment rate would tick up one point and instead, it dropped two.
