Tell me if I'm bugging you but I just GOTTA ask about this next line.
The prior week's claims were revised to show 1,000 more applications received than previously reported. Claims have now held below the 300,000 threshold for 38 consecutive weeks, the longest stretch in years, and remain close to levels last seen in the early 1970s. Claims below this level are usually associated with a healthy jobs market.
That's what I was talking about. Revised. And you say it right here. 1,000 more.
Claims below 300,00 for 38 weeks. Longest in years. WHAT YEARS? WHICH YEARS? Why don't they explain it better?
ALSO they say this is close to levels last seen in the early 70's. The early 70's sucked. THEN it sucked even worse when Jimmy Carter became President.
WHY are they comparing this economy to the one I grew up with when I was a kid and the economy and Carter sucked? IT SUCKED!
THEN that have to say usually. Why do they have to say "USUALLY" associated with a healthy economy? It almost sounds like they are liars.
