288k jobs does not cause employment nubers to go up, just to maintain an even number about 350k must gain employement weekly, the only reason the unemployment number is going down is because the folks that have been looking for work for so long have fallen out of the numbers.

Again, to just keep unemployment stable, you must hire about 300-350k a week, anything less than that and you are losing ground.

Apples and oranges... In short (and overly simplistic), the 320 initial claims are more than offset by hiring. As everyone knows, thousands and thousands of people are hired and fired every day. The +288K is the “net” job additions.
