Metrics used now are the same ones that have been used for the last 20 years
Facts suck ass when they aren't on your side
US jobless rate falls to 7.8 pct., 44-month low

then it will instantly shoot up to the highest ever cause doctors will be fired and corporations will fire employees because they are taxed more
it will be hell for 9-5's

Damn I,m happy I get to vote the "black muslim in the white house ain't that the shit" out in 30 days.
Looks like the unemployment rate is 5% higher than it was in 2007 based on the percent of people in the country working. While the number is a vague indication of how the economy is doing, it isn't very useful except to politicians.
The Government likes to cook numbers. I mean, look at at a GDP chat.
Obama can say the economy is growing under him the last few years in actual numbers. When you look at it adjusted for inflation you can see we have only increased once in the last decade.
Finally, here is a chart of unemployment numbers:
Look to see mid 8's return after Christmas. I really fail to see what there is to celebrate.

That there is recovery maybe? Unless you believe Obama is responsible for that great plunge in employment during the economic downturn.

We are not talking facts, we are talking statistics.
The facts are that well over 10% of the population is un-employed or underemployed and no amount of dicking around with the unemployment rate will change that on election day.

Not to worry folks.
Mitt Romney's has his 'Fact Checkers' working overtime to disprove these statistics.
It should be relatively easy for them, too.
Hear that 'shaking' sound coming from the 'Etch-A-Sketch'?
Practically everything Romney sez is a lie and he's already begun creating jobs for 'Fact Checkers'.
Don't think there will be a call for 12,000,000 of them tho, unless Mitt gets elected....................

Any good news for America is bad news for the right and probably just a left wing conspiracy.
Desperate right is desperate.

The economy will vastly improve
Whenever the Republicans can figure out how to take credit for it
until then
It's all doom and gloom

Funny thing that no one actually links to the BLS report.

Pay attention to the following:
Hey pretty soon we will be at full employment and everyone will work 4 hours a week at the McDonalds.
Ain't recovery grand?
a gain of 114,000 isn't even enough to keep up with population growth.

Pay attention to the following:
600,000 people all of a sudden involuntarily lost their full time jobs and had to go to part time work.

Bottom Line
no matter what metric you use in figuring out Unemployment stats
If you use the same metrics from 2009 and now
it comes out the same
the economy is doing better
