Last week, someone posted an article that stated there were 56 upward revisions during the past 57 weeks.

It's now 57 of 58...I'd call that a "trend".

I’ve been keeping track of these releases for some time on a spreadsheet. As of the moment, the statistical probability of 57 of 58 jobless claim releases being revised upward (assuming an equal chance for an upward or downward revision each time) is ...wait for it... 0.0000000000000201228%. Coincidence, I’m sure.
