Claims from the prior week were revised up to 375,000 from 372,000.

Shocking. The numbers had to be revised upward. Assuming that an honest initial report would have to be adjusted upward half the time and downward half the time, the odds of needing to be adjusted upward every week of the year is 0.0000000000000222%.

“...the odds of needing to be adjusted upward every week of the year is 0.0000000000000222%.”

Which coincidently is equal to brain activity in leading economists.

You noticed this too, hunh?

I wouldn't expect the numbers to be correct. I wouldn't expect them to err on the "positive" side, every single time, either. Proof positive that someone is fudging the numbers.
