Jobless Claims Plummet -- Making America Great -- May 16, 2019

Huge drop in jobless claims: drop 16,000 to 212,000.
  • Bernie: resist!
  • Buttigieg: change course!
  • Beto: re-launch, but first, get a haircut. 
  • Biden: what just happened? Am I on the Dinah Shore show today?

From the linked story:

The numbers: The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits last week fell to the lowest level in a month, dragging new jobless claims back near a post-recession low and suggesting all is well in the U.S. labor market.

Dragging? An unusual word to say the least for such great news. LOL. 

Economists forecast the number would go to .... drum roll ... 217,000. Whatever.
