Look at these two confusing employment stories from Yahoo News
In the first we are told that job growth was "surprisingly strong" in December 2006

In this story we are told that the jobless rate "inched up" in December 2006

I'm not an economist but how can that be? You wouldn't suppose that the Bush Administration is lying to us about the jobless issue? Especially with stories only 1 day apart.
However if you look at recent months you'll find the same pattern of lies. One day the Labor Department tells us that the jobless rate increased and the next day (or 2 days later) we are told that the economy is producing jobs at an unprecedented rate. Seems like not only wool being pulled over eyes but huge quantities of bullshit also.
