WASHINGTON — For the past six years of the Obama economy, I’ve been telling readers that the administration has been juggling its job data to make the unemployment rates look much lower than they really are.

Now, Jim Clifton, chairman and CEO of the respected Gallup Poll organization, has written a blistering broadside on the devious ways President Obama’s Department of Labor defines its monthly job numbers, calling it “The Big Lie.”

The numbers do not count the millions of Americans who want and need full-time jobs but have settled for part-time — and that, as Clifton knows well, remains the chief reason why the jobless rate has fallen.

Yet Obama has been going around the country crowing about the unemployment rate falling into the mid-5 percent range, down from its 10 percent peak in October of 2009. The declining jobless rate, he claims, proves his policies are working and have pulled the economy out of its deep recession.

The nightly network news shows have been among his principal accomplices and cheerleaders in this shady con job.
