BBC's Faulty Math

The BBC is working overtime to find bad things to print about the U.S.

Get a load of this.

US job creation slows in November
US employers added 94,000 jobs in November, with the rate of hiring slowing from the previous month, the Labor Department has reported.
Sounds like things are going into the tank, right?

Then comes the rest of the story.
The total came in slightly ahead of forecasts by Wall Street economists for 90,000 jobs, bolstering the dollar.

The unemployment rate held steady at 4.7 percent, the department said.
So, the employment numbers were better than expected and unemployment held steady. But the BBC run a headline claiming that employment slowed.

My gosh, the bias is blatant.
