‘Many economists consider claims below 400,000 a sign of a generally improving labor market.’
Only when a Democrat is in office.

What a load of crap, the revised numbers for the economy is -1% growth, companies do not hire new employees when the economy is crashing.

The number of jobless claims would have been HIGHER, but severe storms kept many people from reporting their status.

I’m no rocket surgeon but I can tell you why more people get jobs right now. It is SPRING. Construction season has started, landscaping season has started, all kinds of jobs are available right away in the Spring.

“Many economists consider claims below 400,000 a sign of a generally improving labor market.”
Once a famous guy says on TV that it’s at least 97% of economists, the science is settled.

".. Only when a Democrat is in office."

They haven’t been for a long time. I have received quite the backlash when I have even suggest in the past that they WSJ is not conservative.

There’s still quite a difference between the news and editorial pages, at least in my view.

Weekly numbers can be volatile. That's why you look at the 4 week MA which is currently the lowest since August 2007:

How about that dismal drop of 1% in GDP, WSJ? Stop cheerleading for this phony “recovery.” No one believes it but the gamblers and scammers on Wall St.
To: SeekAndFind
The Wall Street Journal used to have the reputation for having craven leftism in the news section, and conservativism in the editorial section.
Now they are craven leftists, throughout.

I will consider believing the stuff about job employment when the eligible work force numbers are back close to a more reasonable extrapolated number.
The phony cap that started in 2008 is insulting. BLS.gov, data tools > top picks > civilian labor force
