RUSH: The big news. It\u2019s just amazing the narrative here. It\u2019s Friday, so what\u2019s the big news? The big news is the unemployment number. Whatever the number is and whatever the employment rate is, that\u2019s the big news. Obama just had a press conference — well, he didn\u2019t have a press conference, but he had an appearance at Thompson Creek Manufacturing company in Landover, Maryland, to talk about the monthly employment report that came out today. And let\u2019s go through the State-Controlled Media and the way they report this, even though it\u2019s predictable. First up from the Associated Press — and it sounds to me if you read the AP today, and I don\u2019t know how much media attention you\u2019ve been paying today, but depending on where you go the media is saying: ‘Finally, all right, 9.8 to 9.4, hundred thousand new jobs, all right, all right, coming back.\u2019 Then you go to the Fed chairman, it ain\u2019t that good, and other places, it\u2019s not that good. Other places they\u2019re throwing a party. So what is the truth about this? Well, let\u2019s examine it all before I tell you what\u2019s really happening here. <\/p>\n

From Associated Press: ‘The nation\u2019s unemployment rate dropped to 9.4% last month, its lowest levels in 19 months. That was because more people found jobs.\u2019 Normally AP would just stop there, that would be the end of the story and they\u2019d move on to something else. But they didn\u2019t stop there. ‘The nation\u2019s unemployment rate dropped to 9.4% last month, its lowest level in 19 months. That was because more people found jobs, but also because some people gave up on their job searches.\u2019 This might be a first, if it\u2019s not a first, it\u2019s a second or third. AP doesn\u2019t talk about that aspect of the unemployment situation. They don\u2019t talk about the number of people who have quit looking and how that affects all the other numbers. This is a stunning admission from AP, and it\u2019s especially shocking to see this in their lead paragraph. Normally they would either not report this, or bury this long after that point in the story where most people have stopped reading. ‘Also because some people gave up on their job searches. The Labor Department says employers added 103,000 jobs in December. That\u2019s an improvement, but far below most analysts\u2019 expectations.\u2019 (gasping) Unprecedented again. <\/p>\n

Faced with the opportunity here, folks, and with the raw numbers, 9.8 down to 9.4, 103,000 new jobs. I mean compared to 34,000, 22,000, why, they had an opportunity here to portray a full-fledged economic recovery going on and they\u2019re doing just the opposite. ‘The Labor Department says employers added 103,000 jobs in December, an improvement, but far below most analysts\u2019 expectations. Private employers added a net total of 113,000 jobs last month. Government shed 10,000.\u2019 By the way, any of you happen to know what the expectation of analysts was? Is that ever reported? I happen to know what the number is. I\u2019m just asking you if you do. What is it? Wrong. Wrong. Yep. Stick with me and I\u2019ll tell you. H.R. just made a guess on the IFB. Every week we hear that the result, whatever it is, is unexpected or shocking or surprising to analysts who had predicted something else but we never see the story on what the analysts had predicted. For example, next Monday or Tuesday, will we see a story: ‘Analysts are expecting X,\u2019 whatever the number is, ‘on new jobs at the end of this week –‘ you never see the story. All we get is it\u2019s surprising, it\u2019s not as much as they expected or way above their expectations. <\/p>\n

The fact of the matter is AP\u2019s got it right here, ‘far below most analysts\u2019 expectations.\u2019 The truth of the matter is, the expectations were as high as 300,000. That is why the tone of this story and everywhere else, that\u2019s why Obama had to go out there and try to spin this today because it\u2019s perhaps worse news than we\u2019ve had in a long time, even though 9.8 goes to 9.4, because, again, it\u2019s how you set the table. It\u2019s what\u2019s the baseline, what are the expectations, as we talked about the during the lame duck and the Bush tax rates staying the same versus being extended or suspended and therefore rates going up. There was no tax cut, but the way they set the table that\u2019s what the debate ended up being about. <\/p>\n

The experts last week said 300,000 new jobs would be created, the most recent reporting period, and it\u2019s 103,000. That\u2019s one-third. That is 30% of what they were expecting. As a result, the stock market\u2019s dropping today. The price of gold is perking back up. And there\u2019s a household survey out there, and that\u2019s been typically weaker than the main report that actually showed a jump of 297,000. So they were expecting in the 279 to 3,000 range, they got 103. Over the past three months the economy\u2019s added an average of 128,000 jobs. That\u2019s just enough to keep up with the population growth. Nearly double is generally needed to significantly reduce the unemployment rate. So all through this AP story they\u2019re wringing their hands, they\u2019re worried. It\u2019s as though, folks, they\u2019re getting tired of carrying Obama\u2019s water on this. We\u2019re heading now into the third year pretty soon, and it\u2019s getting worse. They had every opportunity here, using the ignorance of their customers, \u2019cause who knew the 300,000 number that was expected when the experts predicted? Who knew that? <\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget, Joe Biden, Vice President Bite Me, assured us the economy would be creating 500,000 jobs a month, starting last spring as a result of the stimulus. Okay, so that\u2019s AP. And, by the way, the bottom line is that people still are not hiring, even though there\u2019s 103,000 jobs. It\u2019s like the birth rate. We\u2019re producing enough new human beings to maintain our population rate, that\u2019s called replacement birth levels, but we\u2019re not doing anything to increase our population. We are not doing anything to increase the number of people working. You ask, ‘Well, okay, how come the number can go from 9.8 to 9.4?\u2019 Very simple. The government just decides that there are 400-plus thousand fewer jobs to be had. So the universe, the total number of jobs available in the country, they just decided to cut by 400,000. <\/p>\n

So as a percentage of people unemployed, if you take the number of universe of jobs and make it smaller, that\u2019s how you can lower the unemployment rate from 9.8 to 9.4, but believe me, everybody knows this is a ten to 17% rate of unemployment when you factor in the people who are no longer seeking work or given up looking for wok, you know, that\u2019s the U6 or U3 number that never gets reported. But AP\u2019s alluding to it here, not insignificant. Wait a second, now. By golly, it\u2019s the same reporter — well, look at this. Folks, I have to sort this out. I thought I had two different stories here, and I do, but it\u2019s the same reporter, and he\u2019s written a very positive story — why, let\u2019s take a brief obscene profit time-out here, let me sort through this because here\u2019s the headline of the story I just read: ‘Unemployment Rate Falls to 9.4%, Hiring Up.\u2019 ‘December Jobs Report Seen Showing Greater Hiring,\u2019 is the second story. Both of these are by Christopher S. Rugaber, and they are 20 minutes apart. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. It\u2019s even better than I thought. As a media exercise, this is even better than I thought. I had two stories here from AP. One is before the jobs data came out, so it\u2019s a story on expectations — and, of course, where do they get the data for their story on expectations? They get it right out of the BLS, the Bureau of Labor Statistics. They get it from the regime, and it\u2019s so rosy! Both Reuters and AP, and everybody else in the news media, just knew that the numbers were gonna be great for December because first they had the ADP number of 292,000 jobs that ADP said that private employers created. These two stories that came out before the official numbers were released. <\/p>\n

These two agencies, AP and Reuters, had no problem whatsoever reporting news that hadn\u2019t happened yet, like the unemployment report, as long as it would help Obama and the Democrats. Then when the numbers came out, that\u2019s why AP went slash-and-burn on \u2019em: Because it is such a stark difference from what they were probably told to expect. The first story before the numbers came out ran about 9:10 this morning: ‘December Jobs Report Seen Showing Greater Hiring — The government is expected to report Friday that businesses stepped up hiring in December, a trend likely to gain momentum in 2011. Economists are predicting that employers added a net total of 145,000 jobs last month and that the unemployment rate dipped to 9.7 percent. <\/p>\n

‘Some are even more optimistic after a private payroll firm estimated this week that companies added nearly 300,000 jobs in December. Also encouraging was a report that fewer people applied for unemployment benefits over the past month than in any four-week period…\u2019 Oh-ho-ho, this is all starting to come together now. Ha-ha-ha-ha. They\u2019re finally tell the truth about why fewer people applied. It\u2019s because they stopped looking for work, not that they found work. Now, get this: ‘[A] payroll tax cut that goes into effect this month will give Americans even more money in the new year. Economists expect that will boost economic growth and give businesses more confidence to hire.\u2019 <\/p>\n

So what\u2019s that? The AP is suggesting that tax cuts might boost the economy and hiring? Look at all of the rose-colored garbage they put in this story before the numbers came out! I mean, folks, they were having the orgasm here before anything it takes for an orgasm (if you get my drift here). They were looking at Playboy before opening the cover, and then the numbers came out, and just 30 minutes later they write a report that scathes. Now, Reuters, again, before the news came out: ‘Payrolls Seen Hitting Seven-Month High — The US economy probably created…\u2019 Probably? ‘Probably\u2019 is in a news story, now? It\u2019s a news story. ‘The U.S. economy probably created more jobs in December than any month since May,\u2019 (panting), ‘confirming a self-sustaining recovery is underway,\u2019 Yay! ‘but the unemployment rate is seen edging down only slightly. Non-farm payrolls increased by an estimated 175,000,\u2019 blah, blah, blah. <\/p>\n

So the truth comes out, and we\u2019re back to this: ‘The nation\u2019s unemployment rate dropped to 9.4% … That was because more people found jobs, but also because some people gave up on their job searches. The Labor Department says employers added 103,000 jobs in December, an improvement from November\u2019s revised total of 71,000 but far below most analysts\u2019 expectations.\u2019 So it\u2019s quite an interesting study. We do this all the time, but today it especially rings true because they were expecting 300,000 jobs. It gets even worse. ‘Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress [today] that there\u2019s increasing evidence that a ‘self-sustaining\u2019 economic recovery is taking hold, but he said the Fed\u2019s $600 billion Treasury bond-buying program is still needed because it will take years for unemployment to drop to more normal levels.\u2019<\/p>\n

Somebody translate this for me. Normally I\u2019m the one that does the translating. Bernanke said the recovery is on track but not enough to create jobs. So there you have it, Workers of America: The economy and the recovery are on track (whispers) but not enough to create jobs. We\u2019re not ‘creating.\u2019 That\u2019s the keyword. We\u2019re not CREATING. The number of jobs created is not increasing the number of people working. We\u2019re not above replacement levels. Here is Bernanke. Audio sound bite number three on Capitol Hill, Senate Budget Committee hearing. We have two bites. Here\u2019s just one.<\/p>\n

BERNANKE: Most participants expected the unemployment rate to be close to 8% two years from now. At this rate of improvement it could take four to five more years for the job market to normalize fully.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Who are these ‘most participants\u2019 he\u2019s talking about? That would be Obama, and that would be Bite Me and everybody in the original economic team when the Porkulus bill was signed into law; because they said because of the Porkulus bill, we\u2019re gonna have 8% employment in two years, and Bite Me said 500,000 jobs. Now Bernanke is out there saying (summarized), ‘Ehhhh, yeah, 8%, but it\u2019s gonna take four or five more years.\u2019 Four or five more years? What will have happened by then? Well, Obama will have left office. In four or five years from now, that\u2019s, what, 2015, 2016? Yeah. Conservatives will hold the White House and the Congress, and they will have been implementing common sense fiscal policy since 2013. So it makes sense, Bernanke basically saying the recovery is gonna happen and the unemployment numbers are gonna drop with real jobs created once we get rid of Democrats in power. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s not what he said. We know that\u2019s what the future holds as we sit here today.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is John in Albany. John, welcome to the program. Nice to have you with us, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Wow, what an honor to talk to you, Rush. Thank you very much. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Appreciate that, yeah, thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I did say I was from Williamsburg, New York. I should have said Schenectady, and Schenectady is in the news because our president is coming to town here — <\/p>\n

RUSH: When?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Tuesday, so —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tuesday.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just wanted to —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you\u2019ve got enough time to leave.<\/p>\n

CALLER: The reason I called was I was thinking, is it possible that these numbers are correct and that, hmm, the Republican Congress is to get the credit for the revised figures in unemployment?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the numbers are not good, is the point.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. You hear me? We got a problem here when people are on cell phones. They can\u2019t hear me half the time and I can\u2019t hear them any. (interruption) No, they can never hear me is what it is. He was gonna ask me further if — (interruption) no, he wasn\u2019t. This is somebody totally different. That guy must have dropped off. He said the analysts overshoot because the — (interruption) No, no, no. I don\u2019t think the analysts overshot because of the Republican victory in terms of the number of jobs they expected to be created. I think that more than anything that was the ADP report, 292,000 jobs, and I think it was a continuation of — look, folks, as long as we\u2019re gonna be talking about these experts every week, I don\u2019t care what the unemployment number is, the experts are surprised, right? So why should we pay attention to them at all? All they are is a funny media contrivance. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care what the numbers are. Like this report. The experts are surprised. The number here is unexpected. They were expecting three times this number of jobs. So he wanted to know, ‘Well, why were they expecting three times as many? Could it be because the Republicans won the election?\u2019 No, the experts are not gonna predict that kind of a swift uptake before those Republicans even take office. We\u2019re talking about December numbers here. So I think what does it matter why? They\u2019re never right. They\u2019re always shocked. So what difference does it make why they think what they think? They\u2019re just a media contrivance. <\/p>\n

John in Columbus, nice to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. My wife owns a small business, so what you\u2019re talking about makes a lot of sense to me. And the point I\u2019m trying to make is that, you know, it doesn\u2019t matter what the numbers are, it\u2019s confidence in the economy. I think that\u2019s what\u2019s hurting us. We\u2019ve been trying to get a loan, and we even worked with somebody from the Small Business Administration.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And we\u2019ve been turned down by banks because they\u2019re telling us in private, it\u2019s just confidence, they have no confidence in what\u2019s going to happen in the market.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s probably true. I don\u2019t doubt that. But they also don\u2019t have to loan you any money to make money. They\u2019re getting replacement funds from the Fed at zero interest rates. It\u2019s practically zero. Money costs nothing. They take whatever they get from the Fed or from the borrowing, they just invest it and whatever it grows they don\u2019t need to loan it to you to make money, so that\u2019s another factor happening here, too, and that\u2019s Fed policy.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m just not. I\u2019m not gonna use it. I don\u2019t care what he says. It\u2019s BS. I\u2019m not gonna use all these sound bites talking about how wonderful the unemployment news is \u2019cause we\u2019ve already debunked it. Everybody knows the media just follows what the regime wants. So screw it. So that means you can skip everything up to number seven. We\u2019ll pick up with number eight. Greetings, and welcome back, folks. It\u2019s El Rushbo starting a million conversations with mind over charter on Friday.<\/p>\n

If I was gonna play \u2019em I\u2019d-a played \u2019em before I went into the whole explanation of why — look, the AP got it right. Why should I spend time playing sound bites on a bunch of propagandists just reading off the fax they got from the White House? I can tell you what the media said, take a lot less time than it would to play \u2019em and you know. Like Obama, had his press conferences, (imitating Obama) ‘Great news out there today, we knew the numbers can jump up around, but we got a hundred thousand new jobs, we got a drop in unemployment, whoa.\u2019 It doesn\u2019t mean anything. The AP may be — long shot here — may be getting tired of carrying their water, puts the truth to the numbers, which we shared with you in the first hour. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Doug in Great Falls, Montana. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush, always great to talk to Mr. Big. Hey, going back to your talk about unemployment, I\u2019m a self-employed masonry contractor, and I\u2019ve been unemployed for about two months, but I don\u2019t show up on any government list as unemployed because I don\u2019t pay into unemployment. I take care of myself. When times are good I save; when they\u2019re bad I live off my savings. I know dozens of guys in this small town that are in the exact same boat as me and we don\u2019t show up.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. You\u2019re not even allowed to get unemployment.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Correct.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And this is evidence for more unemployment than what\u2019s being reported?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, yeah, I don\u2019t know what the number is. I\u2019m not Thomas Sowell, but there\u2019s a lot of guys just in the small town where I am that are in the same boat I am and I can only imagine nationally with the building crisis as bad as it is, there\u2019s gotta be tens of thousands of guys that aren\u2019t reported that are just in my little niche world.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. Well, you know, the Labor Department just announced today, I am told that the Labor Department\u2019s gonna start counting self-employed employment statistics starting this month because — yeah, all those guys. There are a lot of them. So the Labor Department\u2019s going to start trying to keep track of them. There are six different unemployment numbers the Labor Department releases. U1 threw U6, and I get them confused, but the one that\u2019s reported that gives us 9.4% is not the real accurate number because it doesn\u2019t count those who have ceased looking for work. I think the real unemployment number is U3 or the real one might be U6. That number is at about 17 or 18% because it counts the actual number of people who have been trying to find jobs or who have given up, are still outta work, who aren\u2019t working. The number that\u2019s reported just counts the numbers applying for unemployment benefits. There\u2019s a whole lot more outta work people than just those applying for benefits. And that number, as I say, is around 17%. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
