We know they are cooking the inflation numbers because they won't count food and fuel in the real numbers. Well here's another twist to the whole economy thing.....job numbers are possibly being cooked as well. A friend of mine who's son just graduated from college has been applying for jobs everywhere he can trying to get a job as a wildlife biologist. He has applied for several hundred jobs over the past year, most of them gov't. He called his guidance counselor from college the other day just to see if she had any advise to improve his results and they discussed his situation in depth. He told her how many jobs he applied for and she told him thanks for helping the gov't pad their employment numbers. She said in order to make things look better than they are, the Obama administration has decided that every job applied for will now be counted as a job created. I haven't seen anything in the news about this but with it coming from someone in a gov't position there is probably at least a little truth to it.......Be on the look out for any information regarding this. It would be interesting know if this is true....
