Forgive me if this is a duplicate post ... I did not find it in a search.

So, on 10/28, 434,000 new jobless claims represented a 21,000 drop. Today, 457,000 new jobless claims, up 20,000 from last week's revised number which was up 3,000 from the original report. I make that up 23,000?

I can only assume this was unexpected.
