Some people just don't understand how these numbers are derived and will never understand. You can show them, explain in detail to them, have them see the unemployed and they will still CHOSE to not understand.
The number of jobs created last month was insufficient to stay even. So how did the rate drop? Must be some other reason.
Where did most of those jobs come from? 3/4 came from government hiring which do grow an economy. They provide a job for some people but they do not become self sustaining (except in bureacracy even when the need has passed) and provide a service.
In January a lot of people will lose their unemployment (the cliff) and it is possible that the unemployment rate (not to be confused with actual unemployment) will drop because once you lose your benefits, you cease to exist in Obama's world. That is until 3 million unemployed people show up in Washington DC.
