The U.S. Labor Department today (October 5, 2012) released the unemployment rate for the month of September, which shows it plunged from 8.1 to 7.8 percent -- its lowest since President Obama took office in 2009 -- according to the Yahoo News website.
The report has resulted in disbelief -- bordering on suspicion -- from many Republicans and business leaders, some of whom are expressing doubts about the truthfulness of the figures, which come just four weeks before the November 6 presidential election.
Americans for Limited Government -- a conservative group -- said in a statement today, "Anyone who takes this unemployment report seriously is either naive or a paid Obama campaign adviser."
Jack Welch -- former General Electric CEO -- asserted, "These Chicago guys (Obama campaign headquarters are based in Chicago) will do anything -- can't debate so change numbers."
Dan Celia of Financial Issues Stewardship Ministries called the drop in the unemployment rate "deceptive" and "a setup," and said it was indicative of why Americans are losing faith in their government.
