And DC, if you don't think the administration is willing to engage in all sorts of shenanigans to keep the numbers and perceptions about unemployment low, you might want to check this one out. I would distinguish between the administration (which, like all its predecessors, is intensely political) and the career civil servants at BLS who generate the jobs reports. If I'm reading you right, you seem to be saying that the latter engaged in politically motivated fraud. That's a serious, even grave, charge, so I don't think it's unreasonable to ask if there's evidence supporting it. Are there grounds for believing that the September report was handled differently from those that came before it?
