“When they drop below 375,000, it typically suggests hiring is strong enough to reduce the unemployment rate.”
The figure was 325,000 until Obama took office. Doesn’t really matter since most of the numbers being put out are phony anyway.
Last week’s figures were “upwardly revised” this week? What a surprise — just how many times has that happened in the past four years?

The actual figure was 200,000.
Yes, and we know this week’s phony # will be revised upward when next week’s phony # is announced.
None of these “new claim” numbers mean anything except to the guys doing the filing. There are always, even in the best of times, people changing jobs, and companies closing down. They must always be compared to the number of new jobs being filled. Our population requires about 120K NEW jobs/ month just to keep up with population growth. It’s been some years tho since we were at even that level. New filings can go all the way down to 100K / month in the current market and we will STILL BE losing ground-——so all the bullwhackey about how good things would be if the new filings would just drop below 400K-—376K-—350K-—275K——200K ( following me? ) are just meaningless BS. Until new filings are less than new hirings we will be circling the terlet bowl. Every other form of “analysis “is vaporized upchuck.-—————————————————I have to go rest now.
Wait wait wait.....we see the unemployment claim numbers...where in the hell are the “new jobs created” numbers the BLS (Obama) always has? They used to say “private sector created 100,000 jobs...blah blah blah...”
