Historically, you cannot put faith in the numbers the Labor Dept. generates. You must wait one month after they come out to get the real numbers. In all cases, since the obumbler took office, the initial numbers are revised significantly.
What the game is, is the admin. is hoping for not so bad news with the initial numbers. That initial announcement gets big play in the media. The revised numbers, a month later, don't get much publicity and are brushed off.
