1) Is the DLS staffer who tweeted about ‘Nazis in Indiana’ still working there?

2) ‘Seasonal adjustments’ are a charter to fiddle the numbers since a) we are always in one of four seasons and b) if they adjust in all four seasons, there is no baseline for the adjustment.

Still, if they think it’s a valid practice I will seasonally adjust my tax payments in my favor.

So I guess the enemedia will trumpet this as an Big Brother Obama success story concerning jobs and the economy, even though a recent report had jobs created at rate much smaller than expected? I guess we’ll hear about this on the video screen in our apartments.

There were 281,000 first-time claims for unemployment for the week ending April 4, the Department of Labor reported Thursday.

Alternately--More than a quarter of a million new unemployment claims were filed by US citizens during the week of APR 4.

The good news for the administration is that the number of people they count as unemployed will most likely continue to drop.

They way they count it, the labor pool is getting smaller each week.

So many people have been driven from actively seeking employment by the O’conomy that they are getting old and dying off.

Claims for unemployment insurance have been among the more positive signs of the economy in the winter months. First-time claims for unemployment have been under the 300,000 for five straight weeks.

If no one has been working for the last 6 years, how can they claim unemployment?
Talk about spinning the numbers!

These numbers are atrocious. Remedial. Any other administration would be taken to task by the poor results.

How many first-time jobless claims are “normal?”

Really, why bother with anything coming out the Obama administration?

We all know that it’s all lies, all the time.

Don’t waste the bytes.

Save them for the upcoming SHTF and ensuing CW-II.

I think the proper term is “sucked less than expected”
