The headline January jobs number reported that unemployment dropped to 9.7%. But if you take out seasonal statistical adjustments, it rose to 10.6%. Sometimes the seasonal adjustments make the number higher, sometimes lower. Net job losses increased from 14.7 million in December to 16.1 million in January due to a downward revision to previous reports. The number of discouraged workers who dropped out of the stats also rose, passing the 1 million mark. If those people were included the rate would have risen to 11.2% seasonally unadjusted. Also, seasonally unadjusted, the total unemployment number including underemployed and discouraged reached 18%. Basically, the only people hiring are health care and the federal government; two sectors that drain wealth instead of create it. So, that is the real story behind the January jobs numbers. And how real and reliable those numbers are to begin with is itself questionable.

Author of the book “The Problem with Interest” talks about debt in his 26 minute documentary “Why Are We All in Debt?”. I’d personally change a few things said in this little documentary, but it is nonetheless good and very interesting.

A 4 min Trailer for the documentary THE SECRET OF OZ. As is discussed in the second edition of Dissolving Dollars, L. Frank Baum’s classic book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” was written as an allegory on monetary reform efforts of the late 19th century. Ellen Brown (who is shown in this clip) talks a lot about “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” in her book, Web of Debt.
