I see you were unable to find any sources whatsoever for any of the points (because you are wrong) so you end the debate.
Your article is about the unemployment rate ("5.6%") which is calculated using a survey. The nonfarm numbers that you are now talking about are also gotten via a survey. You don't "fall off" of either after 26 weeks. You have not shown anything that suggests you do. It's amusing to me that even after being shown over and over you are either to stubborn or stupid to admit this.
You are not supposed to stay on the survey it is rotated to increase accuracy by getting new households at random (i.e. what a statistical survey is supposed to do).
I wanted to see if you had any ??journalistic integrity?? (I guess not)... Reading up on economic data/articles is part of my job and something I do anyway.

"peter's friend" which part of the word "disagree" is not making it clear?
as i've stated clearly, the article stands for the example given. no on here has put the numbers into context in the way the article suggests... which, if you do, you come up with the same conclusion... begin with 100 professionals employed, and end with 88 professionals employed and an unemployment rate of only 4 percent.
i've invited you to comment on the article as a reader's comment, as of this date you have not. the choice is yours.
