The pool is now gathering for the president’s (slightly-delayed) departure on Marine One.
For 2nd Week Jobless Claims Spiked By Major Data-Entry Error; Real Claims Much Lower Than Reported
When we reported the initial claims data last week, one number stood out: the 298,680 initial jobless claims reported by Connecticut, which we speculated may have been a simple error.
A few hours later,our suspicion was wrong, as Connecticut confirmed of an embarrassing fat finger error, because instead of reporting 298,680 initial jobless claims, the Constitution state meant to type in 29,846.
One week later, after today’s initial claims report which found that over 2.4 million workers were laid off in the past week, there was a second consecutive data error, with the actual level of claims in a federal program 1 million lower than initially reported.
According to a Massachusetts official, the state had 115,952 initial claims last week under the federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program, not the 1,184,792 shown in the U.S. Labor Department’s report earlier Thursday. That means the 2.23 million reported figure for nationwide PUA claims was likely about half that number in reality.
And while those figures, as Bloomberg notes, are separate from the principal number tallying initial claims under regular state programs, it still prompts questions if states are gaming the data to represent the worst possible picture for themselves in hopes of getting a state bailout.
First, keep in mind that the number of Ongoing Claims is the most important data point to track COVID’s peak economic pain, as it represents the most concurrent data available. Alas, it now appears that the Jobless Claims data has been misreported, whether for political reasons or simply due to statistical error.
OK, now you just want me to get all PO’d for the day, don’t you?
Other than a few, the R’s are only about 1 rung higher on the ladder than the Dims.
No big deal...
I copy & paste and sometimes fail to change things in the file name, so I get it.
MSM can’t get around the conversation.
It was about firing Shokin. So it had to be before 05/13/2016
I don’t think by just moving to a State with a Democrat governor parents are deserving of being harrassed by CPS.
Interesting. Let me think about which one it could be.
No, I don’t want you all PO’d for the day. LOL
I just wanted to post on the thread Tucker’s thoughts that we have been saying ALL along.
We have known that BOTH political parties have been working against our President with the exception of the Freedom Caucus and a very few Senators.
Graham has been dragged kicking and screaming to finally begin investigations, don’t expect them to lead anywhere.
After all, it is an election year for him and he has to look like he is getting to the bottom of something.
Frankly, if it were not for holding the Senate I’d be praying for him to lose.
Subject: In-town pool report #3 — POTUS takes questions
POTUS emerged at 12:30 p.m., and he has stopped to speak to the press before boarding Marine One.
Subject: In-town pool report #4
The president just finished speaking, topics have included the withdrawal from the Open Skies treaty, the efforts to develop vaccines and therapeutics to treat COVID-19 and other matters.
“We don’t want them to do mail-in ballots because it will lead to total election fraud,” the president said of vote-by mail plans.
He said thought the G7 would be on, most likely at the White House, with a piece possible at Camp David.
Only government employees can make huge mistakes like that and get away with it. What would happen to you if you made a huge error on a client’s tax return and you told the CDTFA or the IRS it was just a fat finger error?
Subject: In-town pool report #5 - wheels up
Marine One was wheels up at 12:44 p.m.
The president also suggested he was interested in going to Florida for the rocket launch next week.
Q #4304 available
Ratcliffe confirmed! Hope Grenell passes out more goodies on his way out the door.
