You have to understand - jobless claims actually ROSE by 2,000 over last week’s figures (367,000 versus 365,000). But by quietly revising the prior week’s figures UP every week, this week to 368,000, they can claim with a straight face some nonsense about an “Unexpected fall” when it fact they went UP!

A quarter of percent drop can’t even be called a drop let alone a fall or a slip. Falls and slips result in injuries making them significant. This move is statistically insignificant. Do they report unemployment filings by week and job creation by month?
