The U.S. Census Bureau expects to add up to 750,000 workers to its payroll by May, a hiring binge that could knock the unemployment rate down by as much as a half-point.
The once-a-decade census is coming at the best possible time for President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats, who have taken political lumps for more than a year over a jobless rate that stands at 9.7 percent.
Of course unemployment is under reported now too. They aren't counting the people who have given up on finding a job or who are under employed. But I'm sure if a Republican was in office we'd be hearing the higher number. Got to love the liberal biased media.
