Back in my college statistics class, one required reading was the book "How 
to Lie With Statistics", author's name long forgotten.  It and another book 
by the same author "How to Take a Chance" did more to show how by 
manipulation numbers can be forced in just about any conclusion you 
want.  Unemployment statistics have become more unreliable by the year 
since about the mid 80s.
