Jobs: first time unemployment claims --From the Drudge Report:
- prior: 209,000
- forecast: 224,000 --- which would be jump of almost 15,000 (seriously?)
- actual: 211,000 -- so, initial claims actually rose by 2,000
- comment: wow, that's a huge, huge discrepancy. It tells me the analysts did not "believe" the number last week when unemployment claims plunged by 24,000
- comment: making American great again
The mainstream media had two headlines to choose from:
- unemployment claims tick higher
- Americans receiving unemployment aid lowest since 1973
Oh, yes, did you hear the good news coming out of North Korea?
