It's fun with Thursday jobs numbers once again.

For those not following: This is the 4th straight week that jobless claims have been below 300,000.

Maybe things are bottoming out, until the new bottom drops out.

As Slick said, people aren’t feeling it.

Fewer workers = fewer recently laid off people.

Well, but what if obamalamadingdong extended the number of weeks that one could file for unemployment benefits say to 150 weeks or 200 weeks — Because let’s just say for the sake of argument that most of his supporters have already exhausted their 99 weeks of unemployment and rather than look for work are just drawing SS benefits, WIC, EBT etc...What would that number be if they actually extended it beyond 99 weeks, what would the number be then? Hum?

The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell last week to nearly its lowest level since before the 2007-09 recession, a sign of growing steam in the U.S. labor market.

So how does the above statement jibe with this from Zero Hedge?

Who's lying?

Ah bullcrap. Wait for the upwardly-revised estimate in 1-2 weeks.

I’m not sure whether to be angry or amused at this deception.

Angry at those believing this,
amused at those perpetrating this,

I suppose.
