Weekly Jobless Claims is not the same as Weekly Jobless.

Oh good! Just in time for the elections! And I guarantee you the numbers are 100% accurate!

Claims for the prior week were revised to show 1,000 more applications received than previously reported.

Go back week-by-week and count: 1) how many unemployment figures were revised upwards after the initial announcement, and 2) how many were revised downwards after the initial announcement. My guess is that the "true" figures are almost always higher than initially reported. The MSM latches on to the bogus optimistic figures and ballyhoos them to the world, and when the revised, pessimistic (i.e., truthful) figures come out, the MSM ignores them. You don't suppose Obozo has noticed this stupidity on the part of the MSM and is taking advantage of it for political gain, do you?

As more and more unemployed Americans are kicked off the rolls even if they are still actively looking for work...

Explain to me again how losing 298,000 jobs a week while only creating 200,000 a month is a sign of a growing economy?

This is not even getting into the full-time vs. part-time issue.

These figures mean nothing anymore.

We have 25% of our workforce sitting idle, and this idiotic set of numbers is viewed as some sort of indicator of economic health?

LOL
