Which gets it back to about what they expected a month ago, before the weeks of “unexpected” higher numbers.

I’m no expert on this, but I still can’t figure out how we had a net loss of jobs over the last quarter but the unemployment figure fell from 10.1% to 9.7%. I thought you would have to have a net jobs gain in order for the unemployment to fall. At least thats what my basic math tells me. Someone help me with this? Do this mean that there were more people who fell off collecting unemployment than applied for it? I don’t get it...

First-time claims for state unemployment benefits fell by the largest amount since JulyObviously...THEY COOKED THE BOOKS. Now, everybody knows "Enron Accounting". THEY LIE...STILL.

First-time claims for state unemployment benefits fell by the largest amount since July. That's because we are running out of people to lay off.

Doesn't this mean that 440,000 people lost their jobs last week? Who gives a rat's arse if a few thousand more or less didn't? How many more have and are going to lose theirs this week? And more to the point... Those that were already on unemployment? Have they found a job yet
? or have their benefits simply run out?
Let's get past the spin and point out the reality.
Millions are out of work and tens of millions more are headed that way.
JMHO

Seems the only thing that can be “expected” in these reports is that the results will be unexpected by the ‘experts’.

In the grand scheme of things, this is insignificant.
This is akin to a rounding error.
And there is no way unemployment went down to 9.7%, and the GDP went up 5.7% in the fourth quarter.
Let’s just call it what it is—they are cooking the books. The corrections will come in two or three months from now when no one cares about these numbers anymore. The Clinton administration had hined this type of quackery to a fine science.
Funny how a lot of the Zero administration are old Clinton hands.

The idea that things are looking rosier because an arbitrary number was off by something less than one percent is really a bit preposterous.
