Gallup is also showing a sharp improvement in underemployment as well as the part-time percentage. Politics aside I hope this plays out as accurate as its been a long time waiting for a turn around. Hopefully that time is now.

PRINCETON, NJ -- Unemployment, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment, is 8.3% in mid-October -- down sharply from 8.7% at the end of September and 9.2% at the end of August. A year ago, Gallup's U.S. unemployment rate stood at 10.0%. While seasonal hiring patterns may explain some of this improvement, the drop suggests the government could report an October unemployment rate of less than 9.0%.
