Fewer people working, fewer jobless claims.

Not a question of math, at all. You mentioned “people giving up looking for work.” That’s a labor participation rate issue, that affects the overall unemployment rate. Not “first time claims.”

Except non-farm payroll, at 142.3 million, has never been higher.
