THis Gallup data isn't seasonally adjusted
Since it's not seasonally adjusted, you have to look at it year over year, and guess what.
And guess what, a year ago Gallup was at 10% and BLS was at 9.0%. So with Gallup now being at 9%, you could surmise that BLS will stand at 8.0%, another solid drop.
Unemployment, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment, hit 10.0% in mid-February 2011 -- up from 9.8% at the end of January....
....The unemployment rate in mid-February is 0.8 percentage points lower than it was at this time a year ago, compared with a 1.1-point improvement at the end of January. This suggests that jobs are less available now than they were in January.
The best comparison of statistics is non-seasonally-adjusted numbers to the same month a year ago.
