Note the explanation of the Hussein Heads’ “calculations”....
“Employers have been hiring at only a modest pace. But when applications fall below 375,000 — consistently — that usually signals that hiring is strong enough to lower the unemployment rate.”

Why no trumpets? Because those people are standing in the unemployment line too.
Mostly because the OA doesn’t want to “turn over this rock” and reveal the worms under it ! IOW, the “decline” stems primarily from those that have exhausted their benefits, (hence conveniently “removing them from the roles”) or have otherwise “given up” on their job searches that make up the bulk of “reports” sent up the chain. All it takes is a nameless clerk’s notation, after all...... >PS
jBecause it doesn’t reflect the thousands that have given up looking.
