The prior week’s claims were revised up by 1,000 to 228,000.

Yes, Winning. It would be interesting to know what the unemployment claims are state by state. Overall unemployment is down, but which states are down more and which states are up?

“unexpectedly “ That means your predictions were wrong. Learn how to make better predictions, you so-called economic analysts!

Thanks, interesting list. A few loser states I expected and several I did not. I wonder what the states gaining employment have in common and what the states with rising unemployment have in common.

Just had a report on Ultra Left Wing Liberal CBS 2 in Chicago that “thousands” of young men in the inter-city can’t find jobs. A fake store front Chicago South Side preacher held another rally demanding jobs for the community.

It is interesting that all of the signs at this rallies are professionally printed and contain the same text.

During the previous administration, my son with a BS in engineering, was unemployed for a year. It all changed in 2017.

They really can’t find jobs; they are unemployable. God help you if they’re hired at your job...

Only Alaska and DC have unemployment rates over 5%. 5% use to be considered full employment. Now it’s bad if it increases by a 10th of a point.
