Note: “ first-time unemployment claims ….”. It’s not like everyone has a job and is back to work.

It will be going up soon.

The vaccine force will be forcing many of us out of jobs and we might even claim unemployment. Just to mess with them. Many of us first time ever....first time ever fired.

Household spending is UP in October-—

GEEE-—PRICES on everything are UP-—So what kind of statistic is this???

I am NOT buying the “UNEMPLOYMENT numbers-—lowest in 50 years.

BS

[ronnie raygun]

and a lot of it was positive. bullsh## they play the numbers game and the media fawns over it

[Eleutheria5]

“But a lot of other news was good: ​Household spending was up in October, and
first-time unemployment claims were just 199,000 — the lowest they’ve been
since the pandemic began.”

More workers are discouraged and no longer actively seeking employment? Household spending was up because everything costs more?

How many people now working are even eligible for benefits?

[Magnum44]

Yep, kind of hard to have lots of first-time claims when no one is employed already. (Figures lie and liars figure)
