I lost track - is this unexpected "modest increase" based on last week's original unexpected increase or was it based on last week's unexpected revised modest unexpected increase?
I lost track - is this unexpected “modest increase” based on last week's original unexpected increase or was it based on last week's unexpected revised modest unexpected increase?
I guess -
“...an increase of 6,000 from the previous week's revised level of 380,000...”
Sounds better than -
“...an increase of 9,000 from the previous week's estimated level of 377,000...”
Even though the latter would be a better ‘apples to apples’ comparison...:^)
