A couple of weeks ago – when Team Obama was victory lapping over the unemployment rate dropping to 8.3% – we told readers to watch the Gallup daily unemployment surveys as a harbinger of things to come.
Gallup has been saying that the employment numbers in the end of January seemed to be weakening.
Guess what?
After reaching a low of 8.2% in mid-January – consistent with gov’t reporting — the rate has crept back up to 9%.
Hmmm.
A reverse victory lap in the offering?
