“The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits topped the 300,000 mark in early February for the fourth time in the past six weeks, a sign that the pace of layoffs is starting to level off after an extended decline.”
The regime tries to put a happy face on this, saying greater unemployment numbers is actually a positive sign, since this means people who had previously given up on looking are now out there looking because things are really rosy now.
There is one increase in unemployment which would be a good sign — flooding the market with bureaucrats and government agents from any and all federal agencies which are not either directly commissioned by the Constitution or carrying out the direct obligations laid on the federal government thereby.
