An increase of 2k.
Is something wrong with my math?

The media lies and lies again to get Obama reelected as the media lied against Palin to get Obama elected in 2008.

Yes. In the full article, the 2 week previous number was revised up from 365k to 368k, resulting in a net increase of ONLY 1000, not 2000.

There's math. And then there's
government math.
Last week's 365K number was revised to 368K so that this weeks' 367K claims number could be reported as having "beaten" expectations. Rah. Rah.
Now, when this weeks' number is revised upwards next week (and it will be), today's result will be revealed to have been be a "miss" - but by then, it will be down the memory hole, which is the whole point of the exercise.
