The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell more than expected last week, while a reading on U.S. productivity came in better than expected..
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 10,000 to a seasonally adjusted 278,000 for the week ended Nov. 1, the Labor Department said on Thursday.
Productivity at U.S. nonfarm businesses increased more than expected in the third quarter, keeping a lid on wage inflation.
The Labor Department said on Thursday productivity grew at a 2.0 percent annual rate after expanding at an upwardly revised 2.9 percent pace in the second quarter.

Unexpectedly!!
oh wait, wrong meme.
The Books are Cooked!! Fake Numbers!!
LOL.
Newsflash to the numbers office: The elections were on Tuesday, you can stop faking the numbers now.
What is the participation rate?
93,000,000 Americans are currently out of work.
93,000,000.
Fine, how many new disability claims.
People are being put on the government payroll to sit home, get fat and vote dimocrat.
Yep! They forgot it’s Thursday. They meant to put this out last Monday, to try and sway the elections with lies.
So, 278,000 people lost their jobs, 238,000 jobs were created and the unemployment rate went down. Got it.
“So, 278,000 people lost their jobs, 238,000 jobs were created and the unemployment rate went down. Got it.”
It’s common core.
After 19 months of Unemployment, finally, started working this week.
A lot of these stats are dubious but you do have to take into account people moving into already open job slots. That adds to the working total.
Remember the census whistle blowers that admitted that unemployment rate below 8% was made up just before the 2012 dlectionto help Ebola.
This is also the time that businesses start their Christmas season hiring.
The U6 is above 10% and Shadow Stats has a real UE well above 20%
The numbers are seasonally adjusted.
Shadow Stats... LMAO
250,000 entering the work force every month (not counting illegals) that aren't counted as unemployed if they can't find a job.
93,000,000 (yeah, that's million) working age Americans are not working.
Workforce participation rate in the low 60%..
Yeah, that Shadow Stats is so laughable, I'll believe the Ebola regime that the UE rate is 5.9%
