Obama menaces freedom and other democratic values. Besides waging war on humanity multiple ways, since taking office in January 2009, employment is down 261,000. 

The jobs creator lost them big time. Those generated stand in stark contrast to bountiful good full-time ones. They were plentiful most often from the 1940s through the 1960s.

Since the 1930s, negative employment only happened once at this stage in the presidential cycle. It was during Bush's first term. He got a second because of electoral rigging. 

He lost in 2000 and 2004 but served eight years as president. Whether Obama matches him remains to be seen. At this stage, it's close. 

Wall Street favors both candidates. Whatever the outcome, they'll win. They still get to choose. Whatever they want, they'll get. In two months, we'll know what they've already decided.

BLS releases seasonally adjusted numbers. Unadjusted figures paint a different picture. The over 16 aged non-institutional labor population isn't seasonally adjusted. It rose 212,000 to 243.6 million.

Unadjusted Household Survey labor force numbers contracted 1.27 million in August compared to the adjusted 368,000 decline. The unadjusted participation rate fell twice as much as the adjusted figure.

Seasonally adjusted August employment totals dropped 119,000 to 142.1 million. Unadjusted they fell 568,000. Last year they declined 49,000. It 2010, they were down 115,000.
