Think it through. It is exactly one year since this started. Benefits are running out for the first people laid off. Hence a drop in benefit claims, since they have been laid off for so long they can no longer claim benefits.

Congress recently extended unemployment compensation by 53 weeks.

I wonder how many of them have simply lived off of benefits without updating their resume with new job skills. Then there are people who have found and are working multiple jobs while barely making ends meet.

Someone told me that you can actually file enough extensions on unemployment to end up drawing it for a total of two years.

It is no doubt deceptive but not in the way you say. This report refers to INITIAL claims, it has nothing to do with benefits running out.
