Manufacturing in U.S. Unexpectedly Contracted in June

By Shobhana Chandra

Manufacturing in the U.S. unexpectedly shrank in June for the first time since the economy emerged from the recession three years ago, indicating a mainstay of the expansion may be faltering.

Am I right in assuming that this was Unexpected in the same way that this post was completely unexpectedly made by you, Carl Hayden? That would be very UNEXPECTED.

You do realize that this being "unexpected" hurts Obama? It signifies that the economy is worse than what the economists thought.

Clearly the fate of Obama is only thing of significance we can deduce from this news...

That's not what is signified.  Given how these sorts of numbers are always being subject to later revision, it signifies that what the economists now think how the economy is doing is worse than how they thought it would be doing and they'll be revising their opinion in a few weeks.

I do somewhat appreciate CARL's monomaniacal searching out of the word "unexpected" in these sorts of stories, even tho he only bothers to post them then they are unexpectedly worse than expected and never when they are unexpectedly better than than expected.  Given the track record of forecasting these sorts of numbers, the only thing that should be truly unexpected is if the reported number matched the expected number.
