:: Claims from the prior week were revised up to 375,000 from 372,000. ::
Why don’t they just truthfully report ^this weeks^ number at 403,000?
They don’t want to cross the 400,000 barrier. Sounds worse than 399,000. It is just a marketing technique. Instead of something costing $10, it is $9.99.
Note the 24,000 jump is actually a jump of 27,000. They compared this week’s unrevised number with last week’s revised number to put the best polish on Barky’s turd. If a Republican were in office, even a crypto-socialist like Mittens, all the spin would be in the other direction. I hate the MSM.
