UNEMPLOYMENT BACK UP TO 9.0%

(CNSNews.com) – Unemployment in the U.S. rose to nine percent in mid-February, up from 8.3 percent a month earlier, according to a new Gallup survey. The polling company said this suggests that it is “premature” to assume the economy will not feature prominently in the 2012 election season.

Gallup figures typically provide an indication of what the government will report at the end of the month.

“The U.S. unemployment rate, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment, is 9.0% in mid-February,” Gallup said in its mid-month unemployment survey, released on February 17. “The mid-month reading normally reflects what the U.S. government reports for the entire month, and is up from 8.3% in mid-January.”

Gallup said the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) would likely report a rise in the official unemployment rate in early March, when it publishes its February figures.


tick, tick, tick

Unemployment numbers are given once a month on the first Friday.

(said with sarcasm)

Yep. Like the Gallup news flash said; the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) would likely report a rise in the official unemployment rate in early March, when it publishes its February figures.

Your the idiot Wavy Gravy - you don't read, you just knee jerk your posts !

Come March when the BLS releases the upward unemployment number you can say you heard it here first.

No lies, just the facts that are hard for Obamazombies to comprehend.

Your' the idiot...BLS unemployment numbers are generally given once a month on the 1st....but the BLS isn't the only organization that produces unemployment data and results...........

The ADP Employment Report being just one very good example. Here, let me teach you somthing ..

Obviously Gallup reports on such things as well.

You must be a sorry ass investor if you don't understand data sourcing in today's economy and digital world.
