The fiction writers at the Bureau of Labor Statistics have spent the last year and a half guesstimating that more jobs have been 'created' than was the case, engaging in wild 'adjustments' and kicking hundreds of thousands of Americans out of the civilian labor force in a desperate attempt to keep the 'official' unemployment rate down.

Well, it looks like they've run out of dodges (unless they're going into totally farcical reports) on Friday.

Lets see how many 'optimists' there are here versus realists.
