Bovine excrement.
Not counting structural unemployment [probably dropped out of workforce years ago], if the economy had frictional and cyclical unemployment of 250,000 then you would see a strengthening labor market [and real, albeit small GDP growth]. You need to get to about 160,000 to see any significant growth in the economy or a stabilizing labor market.

In the last 50+ years unemployment claims have never once dropped to 160,000 and were only under 200,000 for a period in the late 1960's. Since 1970 they have never been blow 200,000. The average since 1967 is 363,000.
