Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 27,000 to a seasonally adjusted 412,000, the Labor Department said.

Not true. We poop Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Candy-fairies poop skittles.
Pot calling the kettle black alert!
I always thought the USSR claimed to have 0% unemployment. I’m sure it was 15-20%.
who are these experts who are always surprised?
I want their jobs - I can make predictions that are wrong too.
I can be surprised when I’m wrong.
With Obama, Expect the Unexpected!
Galt is calling upon a lot of us too.Especially with the performance of the GOP House.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New U.S. claims of alcoholism unexpectedly rose last week, bouncing back above the key 400,000 level, following a government report Thursday which once again used the word “unexpectedly”.
That is where my thought processes are.
And no I am not a stalker. With limited time, I only read the Freepers who have a clue.
“But, in more encouraging news, the unemployment rate that will be reported tomorrow will show a decrease.”
LOL - where’s the KOOL-AID? ;)
“LOL. So true. Jobless numbers increase, inflation up, housing down, but hey: The economy is on the mend and people are going back to work!”
Don’t you see those green shoots??! Oh, they’re covered with Iodine 131...sorry...sad...
“I always thought the USSR claimed to have 0% unemployment. I’m sure it was 15-20%.”
Not only that - but you couldn’t obtain soap about half the time...great system...
Chortle!
LOL.... The Pravda MSM...
“The Obama’s take rare vacation trip”.....
Surprise!
I know. I had some silver coin I got at 10 bucks> I sold it at 20 bucks and patted myself on the back...Whups.But again I think when a huge bank run hits there is not enough actual cash for them to cover. That would make Cash good to have also.
Did it snow last week?
“Galt is calling upon a lot of us too.Especially with the performance of the GOP House.”
I tend to agree with you. I think that the economy is pulling in two different directions: the official and the off-the-books. There is no real way I know of to measure the off-the-books side, but there are some things that hint at it, such as the increase in M1 versus M2 money supply.
This might also explain, in part, why real estate isn’t recovering very well. It’s not like those who are working off-the-books can go and get a home loan these days.
Rooters and Associated Plicks (AP) need some new verbage.
These unexpected unemployment rates and increases in cost of living need new verbage.
