The drop was largely because of 2 states, and not one article I’ve found is willing to name those states.
My guess is:
Large = California or New York
Small = Some state that isn’t really small except in comparison to California or New York

The O’Bozo administration can’t even cheat without screwing up the basic math.

They can’t process unemployment claims correctly after more than 50 years of experience.
0bamaCare should be fun!

Wow, they actually reported it this time, rather than the ignoring California’s four day shutdown of processing of unemployment claims from a month ago.
Whee! Look! Everything’s better!
Umm, and how many this week are now under the magic 30 hours a week? Really wish that they had to publish that number each week - how many people are losing their full time jobs to ObamaCare...

Not to mention Labor Day fell in that week. Doesn’t this happen with EVERY Federal holiday; is it really that UNEXPECTED???

But a department analyst said the majority of the decline appeared to be because two states were upgrading their computer systems and did not process all the claims they received during the week.How convenient now that all the seasonal workers and obomacare victims are getting the boot.
The numbers must be REALLY bad right now.

Since this data is invariable used for comparison with former periods, when is it ever right to knowing publish incomplete information?
To: Oldeconomybuyer
The liberal local Austin, TX news at noon was reporting claims dropped. Not a peep about two states numbers not in. Typical.

It seems every error or miscount always favors the regime - which of course can’t happen by accident.
Like flipping a coin, there should be favorable and unfavorable skewed reports if the miscounts were truly random errors.

The number of new U.S. jobless claims fell sharply last week but much of the decline appeared due to technical problems in claims processing,So convenient!

I would love to get that bunch of genius “analysts” in a locked room with a rubber bat. We’d start off with simple math lessons. Then we’d have a session on “reality”. Maybe we’d have a tutorial on avoiding lying thru ones teeth. Progressing to the chapter on “making krap up” I’d finish with guidance of observing the real world, and after a round of head slaps, a suggestion that the next bat wouldn’t be rubber.-—————————It’s not bragging if you’ve already done it.
