Did The Feds Try and Alter Unemployment Numbers?

Glee from Democrats was the reaction when this week's jobless claims were dramatically lower, than expected. According to the report they actually dropped thirty thousand, which would signify a noticeable improvement. But no one could find where the hiring had occured.

Some economists came under fire when they suggested that the numbers have been fixed, and were not actually factual. Both Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal suggested that maybe a state had been left out, as the numbers just felt wrong. And in fact they were right, California had been left out of the numbers.

Now accusations are flying that the federal government purposefully left out the state, as Obama needed to gain some popularity back, after his failure at the Presidential debate. Obama supporters are torn between saying it must have been an accident or that Canada failed to get their numbers in, on time.

Whilst an accident seems very possible, it should have been pretty obvious that something was missing. The drop was a significant percentage. This government has tried to cover up it's failures in Fast and Furious and in Libya, it would not be beneath them to try and mess with employment numbers, either.
