Does anyone remember the unemployment rate dropping just before the 2012 Presidential election (and then rising again immediately afterwards)? These numbers can't be trusted, and are nothing more than a tool for party control of government.
Table 1 shows the revisions.
October spiked month over month only to be reversed. And the 1st relase numbers show a "uptrend" for aug, sep, oct while the final numbers show a distinct "downtrend" for same.
