The US unemployment rate last month fell to its lowest level in nearly four years, and employers added jobs for the 24th consecutive month as the economy continued its slow recovery from one of the nation’s worst recessions.
The jobless rate dropped sharply in September to 7.8 percent from 8.1 percent in August, falling to the lowest rate since January 2009, when President Obama took office. Unemployment that month was also 7.8 percent.

Welsch is now entering the "crazy uncle" phase of his life. Like all statistics the story may not be what it seems. However, to charge that these stats were cooked up is reckless.
I thought 150,000 jobs needed to be created every month to break even, did that change?
Every economist on the planet is saying these numbers are bogus! Even half the media is refusing to participate in this lie and are running stories on why the numbers are bogus! And then look at the Globe...
And when the numbers didn't favor Obama, that was a conspiracy of who, exactly?
Don't bother to argue with user_440. He makes things up to suit himself. That entire message is bogus.
