IT’S EASTER’s FAULT!
From: http://www.cnbc.com/id/36258075
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 18,000 to a seasonally adjusted 460,000, the Labor Department said.
Analysts polled by Reuters expected claims to edge down to 435,000 from a previously reported 439,000 the prior week.
A Labor Department official attributed the rise in claims to seasonal volatility, mainly from the Easter holiday, and noted there were shutdowns in two states. A holiday on March 31 in California also had an effect on claims, he said.
media experts are stupid. They always get it wrong
But last week Obama said it was all roses and we turned the corner. What up? You mean Socialism is not a real good job creator? Amazing.
With all these “unexpected” rises in jobless claims, I’m afraid that a real drop in joblessness would cause these poor analysts to die of shock.
I’m sure this will be presented as good news and evidence that Obama has solved our economic troubles.
!8,000 lost jobs? Hey it is great news. Just ask Harry Reid.
Can’t be....Obama told me so....
I am unexpectedly smelling the fragrance of gardenias in the air!

Back from the abyss...
This recovery is anemic and a double dip remains a strong possibility.
Unexpected Thursday!
Maybe they should use some sort of "seasonal adjustment" so that predictable events which occur during the year (snow in January, Easter in the spring, etc.) can be worked into the numbers and give us some sort of baseline that would allow us to see a rise or a dip and say "Wow! That's real evidence of the way the economy is moving!"
But I guess the concept of "seasonal adjustments" is unknown to this administration.
Oh Boy! Happy Days! The great Obama economy is on the move now.
More proof that socialism doesn't work.
Not to worry.
The unemployment rate will probably go down.
Zero’s guys cook the books like gourmets. MAkes Clinton’s book-cookers look like amateurs.
“{UNEXPECTED!}”
Hic- drink up.
