Sounds like the current 5-year Soviet plan isn’t working out.

(Reuters) - New U.S. claims for unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week, according to a government report on Thursday that suggested hiring in August was steady but not robust.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 9,000 to a seasonally adjusted 408,000, the Labor Department said.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast claims rising to 400,000. The prior week’s figure was revised up to 399,000 from the previously reported 395,000.

“The prior weeks figure was revised up to 399,000 from the previously reported 395,000”
there’s the money quote!
While Obama is president always EXPECT last weeks numbers to be revised UP.
To: magellan
Wow. This really came in out of the blue. Totally unexpected.

So, that dip under 400k WAS a blip. No surpise that the number was REVISED UP.
==
"Economists polled ..."
I wondered how Reuters got their numbers -- they use a consensus of economists rather than actual data, apparently. Hey, if it was good enough for global
cooling warming climate change ...
