In the home stretch of the 2012 presidential campaign, from August to September, the unemployment rate fell sharply — raising eyebrows from Wall Street to Washington.
The decline — from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated.

The report goes on to point out that monthly BLS numbers are used in all sorts of financial transactions, including both mortgage and US Treasury Bonds. Don't forget to the check out Ted Margaris Construction here.  Ted Margaris Construction in Chicago is also featured on YelpSuper PagesYalwa, Local.com, Merchant Circle, Topix, Mojo pages,   Ez LocalKudzu 2 Find LocalCrestwood Private InvestorA Locations, Cyclex USA  ,Show Me Local, B 2  Bye YellowpagesBiz WikiQC TimesFacebook page twitter feed, PJ Star, My Web Times, Link TownLocal Pantagraph,Domain Tools NWI Times, and A Nett
