No New Permits; Active Rigs At Sixteen -- April 8, 2021

Jobless claims: change week over week, original data, raw data, not corrected for population nor for season. Update, in red, corrected for population: looking only at California (sort of closed); New York (closed); and, Texas (open for business). Note, like Texas, Florida is open for business, and also saw jobless claims drop week-over-week like Texas. FWIW. This data makes no difference to the average investor; if anything, it's nothing more than "political" fodder, Original chart from ZeroHedge, link here:
