Without the labor participation rate as a context jobless claim numbers are meaningless.
{{DRINK!}
Here’s a tip for the Labor Department. Why in the hell don’t you just make up all the weekly numbers from now until that Muslim is out of office?
It would be much better on you and you’d only have to lie your ass off just once and be done with it.
No doubt an unthinking MSM will celebrate this as an Obozo victory. They don’t want to dig below the numbers and see how many are underemployed or have been forced to take part time jobs. Nor do they want to net out the Discourage Workers who simply gave up looking for work because their prospects are so dismal. I just wonder how many college graduates are waiting tables, flippin’ burgers, or driving cabs when, in better times, they would be making four times as much in jobs for which they were trained. The MSM has the IQ of dust and an agenda for Their Leader.
