12-11-27 Great Thanksgiving retail data... are they real?


Here is the summary of the Thanksgiving sales data from recent years, copied from Wikipedia. 
Retail sales for the weekend roese almost 50% from 2008 to 2012 (not corrected for inflation).  I just don't understand all the talk about recession/depression, disastrous unemployment rates with such amazing expansion.
Unless the data should not be trusted...
