Dec 06, 2012 9:39 PM GMTNo, it's called "Hurricane Sandy."
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/how-to-read-the-sandy-impacted-jobs-report-2012-12-06?link=MW_latest_newsEconomists believe the disruption caused by Hurricane Sandy slashed net job growth in November by more than half compared to the prior month, making it virtually impossible to figure out whether U.S. hiring trends got better or worse. They say it might take another month or two of jobs data before they can backfill and figure out how much the storm hurt hiring.
And I would wait for the official numbers for Nov. -

Sept/Oct have been revised downwards by 49000.
Lol, yet more evidence of BLS in cahoots with Obama for winning his reelection.
And I bet you the reconstruction due to Sandy will add even more jobs in the coming months. -

The Associated Press is in on this too.
DontQuoteMe, keep us informed of more updates on the conspiracy to get President Obama reelected.

Dec 07, 2012 5:58 PM GMTAnd one can thank continued government job cuts for that revision downwards in Sept/Oct (which is what every conservative wants, right?)http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20644187Moreover, the relatively good news for November was offset by the BLS's decision to downwardly revise the jobs figures for the preceding two months by a cumulative total of 49,000.
The October figure - which was originally reported just before the elections as 171,000, prompting some Republican supporters to suggest that the numbers had been manipulated - has been cut in the latest estimate to 138,000.
However, the reduction in the October figure was actually entirely due to public sector jobs cuts - mainly at the state and local government level - being 35,000 higher than originally estimated. -

But this chart goes through January 2012 and the point of your thread was to claim that unemployment increased from October 2012 to November 2012. -

How about you use a graph that isn't from almost a year ago? Also, source citation would be good cuz anyone can make a graph. Nice try though. -

The civilian labor force participation rate declined by 0.2 percentage point to 63.6 percent
in November, offsetting an increase of the same amount in October. Total employment was
about unchanged in November, following a combined increase of 1.3 million over the prior
2 months. The employment-population ratio, at 58.7 percent, changed little
in November. (See table A-1.) -
Dec 07, 2012 8:23 PM GMT73% of new jobs created in last 5 months were government jobs. Those jobs are not economy stimulating jobs but economy draining jobs.
We would be better off without those jobs.
In June, a total of 142,415,000 people were employed in the U.S, including 19,938,000 who were employed by federal, state and local governments.
In November,,the total number of people employed had climbed to 143,262,000, an overall increase of 847,000 in the six months since June.
In the same five-month period since June, the number of people employed by government increased by 621,000 to 20,559,000. These 621,000 new government jobs created in the last five months equal 73.3 percent of the 847,000 new jobs created overall.

Some people at these blog sites should really stop posting when they don't have the right data. Scroll to the bottom for governmental employment:
http://www.bls.gov/ces/ceseeb1a.htm
http://www.bls.gov/ces/ceseesummary.htm
and tell me if you see a marked difference between June and Nov.
They are probably using the unadjusted (seasonal) data:
http://www.bls.gov/ces/ceseeb1b.htm
and somebody noticed they were comparing survey data and hard payroll data. Hardly the same thing.
The dip in state educational employment in June and July, you'll notice, is probably related to summer vacation for high schools.
