It just amazes me how the NYPost, The Blaze, Brietbart, PJMedia, American Thinker, and a slew of rightwing blogs can all come out with the same breaking story on the same day.

Would you prefer the story not be reported at all?
Why does it amaze you? It happens with the NYTimes, The Huffington Post, DailyKos, Democratic Underground, etc as well. The ideological driven publications generally lead most stories these days one way or the other. Considering the source is anonymous right now, not surprising it hasn't gotten legs. I'm sure right now there is a Congressional staffer tracking this guy down.
The "anonymous" source is huge problem for the credibility of the story, imo. Until we know who the source is.....meh.
Btw, aren't job numbers reported quarterly? I thought the US census was taken every ten years, not quarterly.

Using anonymous sources to fabricate stories isn't that uncommon either....Anonymous sources aren't uncommon in reporting, particularly in government if its someone in fear of reprisal.
Why don't they get the job data from the companies doing the hiring instead of "households".I believe the Census Bureau works with the Department of Labor to conduct the unemployment surveys of households. The national census or full population count is conducted every 10 years.
It's called a feed.
Same mechanism that NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, the NY Times, and the rest of the DNC controlled media use to all come up with the same breaking stories.

This kind of news has been predicted for months, that the labor dept would come out with a unemployment figure ridiculously low to help the President. And voila, here it is right on cue.

That makes sense. I mean why wouldn't a tabloid like the NYPost have an RSS feed just like the real news does?
The NYPost is a tabloid and not a credible news source. So yes, I guess I'm a bit more picky on what I base my opinion on than you.Yes, anonymous sources can be used to fabricate stories but without evidence confirming that you're simply making an assumption based on your own biases.
I said job data...you know as in "hiring".How are you gonna get unemployment data from companies? How do companies know who's looking for work? For unemployment numbers, they use household surveys. For job growth numbers, they use companies.
So often people use terms they don't understand - the further to the left, the more common this is...
Of course a "tabloid" is a publication that pays for source information. The Post is no more of a "tabloid" than the Times, but since the Times clears stories with the party prior to publication, you seek to smear the Post.
I also notice that you offer nothing to support the contention that the story is accurate - instead you offer just a backhand smear.
I understand, slander, libel, and demagoguery are the mainstay of the shameful left.
I'm glad you understand because the two men in the photo are suing the NY Post for libel.....
But hey, don't let the truth get in the way of your smug snarky ideology....you wouldn't be a right winger without it.

I always thought the unemployment numbers come from "unemployment claims". Polling 60,000 households to represent the entire unemployment rate would seem easy to skew.
Skewing the job numbers is a pretty serious allegation so I"m going to wait until a credible news source weighs in. But thats just me...ya'll go ahead and believe whatever you want because you will anyway.
Well since the whole unemployment number is based on information received from companies via a poll basically, then I would suspect that the hard core conservative run companies would do exactly the same, just in the opposite way.
