And I have to say whenever I hear a govt statistic I think of the russians. "lets say the unemployment rate is 10% this month, then next month we'll say its 9% and claim it fell at the fastest rate in 53 years! the people will love us, comrades!"

yeah but it's not like the BLS is just putting these numbers out because they think it will make the government look good. they publish the numbers regardless.
