Totally unexpected.
‘Fun With Numbers’ falls on Wednesday this week, due to the holiday.
*Rolleyes*
Unexpected. DRINK!
Pretty much expect the BLS to gradually change the methodology to align with Pubbies' return to majority in both houses. Hope the Pubbies are ready for it.
how many months of unexpected have we had now? 60? 70?
“There were no special factors impacting this week’s initial claims.”
Other than an intervening election.
This is satire, right?
Took Obama to put the BS into the BLS
Now that the midterm election is over..

Sales and service. Lot of people don't want to do sales and service and are holding out for some "Laverne & Shirley" job. Well good luck to them.
Everybody DRINK!
Well yes, because they’ve been keeping it down going into the election too.....
