Maybe we can arrest the whole administration under the RICO laws
from It's Still The Economy, Stupid
I got my first clue as to just exactly what that might mean from this snippet in this morning's AP report on the jobless numbers:
The data from the Employment, Hours, and Earnings from the Current Employment Statistics survey (National) program is currently unavailable. We will restore the data as soon as possible. For immediate assistance, contact our data specialist listed below. Thank you for your interest in BLS data, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
Well, fortunately, I wasn't kidding yesterday when I suggested people download the old data, and took my own advice. Lo and behold, when I looked up it up in my trusty Excel spreadsheet, as of yesterday, prior to today's "revisionism", the BLS reported a loss of 48,000 jobs in April. I sometimes hate it when I'm right.
