Umm, why is President Bush Jr. ranked 5th before Truman, if the indicated average in the table is higher for his term? Besides, I went to the site and took the data, and the average (calculated by summing up the 67 months starting Jan 2001 and ending Jul 2001) is now 8.04 for President Bush. Did I calculate it right? If so, shouldn't the table be updated? Bravada, talk - 10:23, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

As per a BusinessWeek blog, the original Misery Index was invented by Arthur Okun. Please see http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/

Is there a source for the Misery Index-crime rate claim? Jamiem 21:28, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

The last entry is fast becoming out of date (14 months old). Unemployment is down to 4.7% (US Average). Can we update this? talk 9 March 2007 (UTC)
