WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- First-time claims for state unemployment benefits fell sharply in the latest week to their lowest level since February 2008, the Labor Department reported Thursday. The number of initial claims in the week ending Oct. 6 fell 30,000 to 339,000. The decline was unexpected.

Let me guess...Illinois?
WOW! What a coincidence! Just in the nick of time, too! Man that Obozo sure is lucky! And it was all UNEXPECTED, TOO!...............
Them? No........
I heard on the FOX radio too of the hour break report that a large state didn’t submit unemployment numbers for last month. This is the first I’ve heard of this?
That is the story behind the number that isn't making headlines. So, we can assume that it is a LARGE democrat controlled state: CA, OH, PA, NY, or IL. These numbers are so absurd that the Labor dept. is not even trying to defend them. CNBS even called BS. Yet, don't look behind the curtain - many sheep are buying into how well the economy is doing. That is, unless you run a business or work in the real world.
We do NOT have the “lowest workforce participation ever” though it is the lowest for a couple decades.
It MAY be accurate to say that we are now experiencing the lowest participation rate among adult men, but I don’t have time to go check that at www.bls.gov now.
You are using the government as your source.
Fact is as a percentage of adults lowest % have jobs in history (not by the gov definition and the gov numbers). And if you leave out those in government jobs , it’s even less, and then take away those that “work” for non-profits, and what is the % then , those that are in real jobs, then take away government contractors, and It’s the lowest ever ,
Heard that too. Why isn’t FOX or CNBC reporting this?
” A Labor Department economist said one large state didn’t report additional quarterly figures as expected, accounting for a substantial part of the decrease. “
No! It’s a Miracle! He is THE ONE! He prayed and jobs miracles were delivered!!!!
Oh and the Non seasonally adjusted jobless claims ROSE by 22,000.
250 million adults over age 18 living in the US
133,500,000 jobs in the US in September 2012
53% = lowest ever number of adults working in jobs as % of population
Maybe the turnaround is due to Mitt Romney’s surge in the polls.
But 339,000 is nothing to brag about....it only looks good in comparison to Obamugabe’s normal crappy numbers.
And they “accidentally” left out a large state, just in time to help Obama win the election. the media will report this every minute to every American.
Had enough yet?
We need civil war 2.
Heard the same and it is SHOCKING to me that they released the report. Absolutely unbelievable.
They “accidentally” left out a large state, just in time to help Obama win the election. the media will report these bogus numbers every minute to every American
You, Rush and many others have predicted this.
Hopefully, the scales are falling off the koolaid washed masses eyes, and they're seeing these numbers for what they really are...LIES!
I wonder if that was OHIO?........
