previous week’s revised figure of 368,000

Along with “unexpectedly” comes the usual revised figure without any mention it is UP from the official figure dispensed last week which was unexpected at that time.

One news article, AP I believe, said this shows there is an indicator of a slow employment recovery. They are wrong, it is a further piece of evidence the press is so far up the backside of this president they may as well be his naval.

"Along with “unexpectedly” comes the usual revised figure without any mention it is UP from the official figure dispensed last week which was unexpected at that time."

Granted, it could be clearer, but for a change the LSM DOES mention the adjustment (emphasis added). You just need to READ it.

"The report showed that initial jobless claims edged up to 372,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 368,000. The modest increase came as a surprise to economists, who had expected jobless claims to slip to 365,000 from the 366,000 originally reported for the previous week ."

Not disputing your point, however, that the LSM is up Obama's backside.
