However, amid all that good news, something odd happened as 537,467 Americans were added to Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, sending the total number of Americans on the dole higher for the first time in 8 weeks...
Meaning the number of Americans on some form of government jobless benefits jumped back above 3 million...
Odd?!
‘Mysteriously’ is the new ‘unexpectedly’...
Everybody drink!
Could there be a correlation between jobless people and vaccine mandates??!! What’s so “mysterious”?
Jumps up or jumps forward, not jumps back. Journalists. Pshaw.
Yep, it’s called criminal aliens. In progressive America you live better as a criminal.
CA, MA and PA... Libtard-infested areas infested with libtards on everyone else’s dime... shocking.
We, in California have to support all the illegals coming into our state, Grusome said!
Illegals.
Pennsylvania had a massive system glitch that delayed payments for weeks. That is why anyone who went on unemployment after April was not “official” until October when they got the system ironed out.
According to plan.
CA has the highest poverty level of any state so that’s not a surprise there. Don’t know about the other two states.
Mysteriously my butt!
Just look at the vermin flooding across the southern border...
“...537,467 Americans were added to Pandemic Unemployment Assistance...”
Pretty loose use of the word “Americans” I’d wager.
