Unemployment plummets on the back of job creation.

Actually heard a clip of Obama on trail yesterday talking about needing change. How stupid is he?

Maybe we should get us some of that reform.

A few more debates like the last one and he might get his wish...

What jobs, Jelly? They're certainly not around here.

A national unemployment statistic is utterly worthless. Regional and/or industry unemployment stats would tell a better story. It's certainly not a rosy picture for admin specialists who live in Cali. I'll tell you that first hand.

What that hell is an "Admin Specialist"..?
That sounds like paper shuffling bloated middle management pyramidal layers of red tape
That the corporate leaders of America have seen fit to rid themselves of to increase profitability

You my friend are officially fucked
That crap is never coming back - only in our Federal Government do we have such additional layers of "Admin Specialists" milling about bogging down the expediency of daily business

American business today has eliminated much of that fluff
We are easily 15% leaner than we were 4 years ago

Good luck

WASHINGTON (AP) - Weekly applications for U.S. unemployment benefits jumped 46,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 388,000, the highest in four months. The increase marks a rebound from the previous week's sharp drop. Both swings were largely due to technical factors.

The four-week average of applications, a less volatile measure, rose slightly to 365,500, the Labor Department said Thursday. That's still a level consistent with modest hiring.

A department spokesman said the last two weeks' figures were distorted by seasonal adjustments the department makes.

Hmmmm, when it's bad news they add a disclaimer in each of the first three lines about how the numbers are distorted, technical and consistent. Where were those terms when the previous set of numbers were released, and why wasn't this headline news?

The previous new jobless claims figures were down only because California did not report on time.

Because it does not suit the agenda

But this is good news for Obama. The increase in jobless claims means that more people are looking for work because the economy is improving.

Exactly.

It is interesting how boisterous Jelly, DB1 and Cat were with the news of two weeks ago and now they suddenly can't even find this thread.

Obviously don't know how trolling works.
