452,000 people are filing for unemployment for the first time is not good news.

[StandUpChuck]

If I was an idiot, this would be great news.

[stevem]

Let me see if I have this straight. We are losing about 1.4 million jobs per month, and that is a good thing? What did I miss in this article?

I guess if things are really improving, we have George Bush to thank for it.

Wait for the “corrections”.....

[robomatik]

this news should be comforting to an acquaintance of mine. she is 55, manages a gas station, and has a husband who does roofing work.

her husband has been out of work for c. 6 months.

her daughter (unemployed) lives with her.

her son-in-law (unemployed) lives with her.

and her two grandchildren live with her as well.

they all live (barely) because of her paycheck.

thanks 0zero!

(i donated some food to them so they could HAVE a Christmas dinner).

It’s good that this number came out before Christmas. January and February are going to be disappointing.

[freekitty]

Like I believe. Why don’t we get rid of a lot of government workers?

[Da Coyote]

As if anyone believes anything from the MSM any more.

Remember the clueless clods in your classes?

Politicians and journalists.

(What else can they do?

[Hugin]

Nobody left to layoff.

Is there such a thing as a job losing recovery?

Strange. When Bush was Prez and jobless claims fell, the media were telling us it was because it was partly those whose unemployment benefits had run out, and the others were people who had just given up looking for work.
Then they (the media) would go on and on about how the real figure wasn't out there for everyone to see and how Bush and his cronies were covering up the real unemployment figure, which the media would toss in everyone who wasn't working full-time at a livable wage . . .and their dog (just for good measure and to bump the figures up even higher).

Wow! Only 452,000 new claims for unemployment benefits filed in one week! LOL! And things have only been going downhill since the lock against new hiring in early December, 2007 (attempt at smothering things a little to lower freight fuel and foreign product prices).

Oh, and the manufacturing that will revive the economy will begin after the politically correct, anti-American government-corporates go down. ...and the local government zoning “laws,” HOAs all go down. The big default is on the way, and the new beginning will come after that.

[sickoflibs]

Considering the trillions being spent something should happen, of course all that money is borrowed, much of it created out of thin air. Not a good sign for the future.

[autumnraine]

Isn’t there some “unexpectedly” GIF or something?

[piytar]

So what were the leftscum calling bad news under GW, you know, the worst economy ever? That’s right, not enough JOB CREATION. (Link to Daily Kos provided for proof of veracity, but don’t feel obligated to give them the hits: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/11/4/91412/9064)

Hypocritical pukes.

[Recovering_Democrat]

What a croc. Remember when this happened under Bush? Any positive sign happening was "tempered" with "but troubling signs remain..."

With Hussein the Prompter Reader, everything is painted rosy.

Except people KNOW better.

This is from someone who earns a living from the wind industry... Wind farms will, one day, be a monument to man’s stupidity.

[deepthought]

Now that the Christmas season is over and the temp workers are laid off there will an “unexpected” jump in unemployment.
