  1. Well of course they wouldn’t want to negatively affect the vote, out of deference to Mr. “Obama-Nation(tm)”.
    I mean if you are going to roll over for a couple of dead Navy SEALs, why would you trouble yourself over some economic performance metrics?
    Re-election uber alles…
    Betcha all those bureaucrats are looking over their shoulder checking their six o’clock.

  2. Why? Like the last 99 of 100 reports it is just a wild ass guess apparently, and always gets ‘revised upwards’ – never downwards.
    What a frickin’ scam, all those bean counters should all be fired immediately for gross incompetence.

  3. If the economy is SOOO good, why wouldn’t the incumbant insist the numbers be announced on time?
    After all happy days are here again, and all that….

  4. Bureaucracy much like the military is a lethargic entity. If a genuine report was due to be released, it is already drafted, proof-read and back from the printers…a process probably already completed.

  5. To be fair, the offices in Washington are closed today and tomorrow. So, they could release the results on.. Tuesday! Bambam would love that..

  6. Pok, The report of 7.8% unemployment two weeks was a survey only and an obvious outlier. This one due Friday is much more accurate and will show 8% or above unemployment. Obama and his bureaucrats can’t have that so it will not be released. The storm is as good an excuse as any.

  7. If they would count the “not bothering to look for work” numbers the unemployment rate is double digits.
    The reports are bogus and self serving from the start.

  8. Is this the same outfit that reported the unemployment rate went down to 7.8% while still missing some of the data? Naaaa.

  10. The last jobs report didn’t include California. They may as well just forget about it altogether.
