Mar 2012

removes seasonal adjustment and says things are not what they seem?

They are what they seem, which is that without seasonal adjustment the rate was 10.3 percent in February 2011 (climbing 1.5 points from late 2010) and it's 9.1 percent in February 2012 (climbing .6 points from late 2011)

I mean, even without the seasonal adjustment, the year-over-year is down 1.2 percent.

Still, it's Gallup.

Edited math.
