US unemployment increases in mid-Febuary according to Gallup

[cavalcade]

I've never heard of Gallup as an authority on this.

Last months jobs report could be encouraging people to jump back into the labor market, thus pushing up the rate.

That should happen at some point, which will allow for the hilarious spectacle of Republicans saying "the unemployment rate has changed, because of the President's policies!" and the Obama administration saying "but look at the labor participation rate!"
