Unemployment not so rosy after all

A new Gallup poll says the few new jobs numbers of the last two months should be taken more seriously than the sharply falling unemployment numbers, perhaps.

Gallup's numbers are not seasonally adjusted, but say that unemployment, larger (U6) underemployment, and part-timing are all up.

As the GOP in Congress looks at shutting down the government if "necessary" for its politics and Obama plays footsie, this is disheartening.
