ARMAGEDDON...Jobless claims plunge to 222,000, second-lowest mark in decades

[ColonelAngus]

Such BAD NEWS!

JUST AWFUL!

"New applications for unemployment benefits dropped 7,000 to 222,000 in the second full week of February, the Department of Labor reported Thursday, the second-lowest mark of the recovery and a good sign for the economy.

Forecasters had expected new jobless claims to remain steady at an ultra-low 230,000. Lower claims are good news because they mean fewer people are getting laid off.

Thursday's mark is the lowest since the early 1970s, setting aside the week of January 13, when claims touched as low as 216,000."

Because so many have dropped out of the workforce under Trump. 95.8+ million out of the workforce.

Reading is fundamental. The OP wrote "New applications for unemployment benefits" are dropping, not "New applications for unemployment."

And yes, your President is fixing all that.

Dupe. You really need to quit using the Russian Times for your information, comrade. From the US BLS..

"In January, the unemployment rate was 4.1 percent for the fourth consecutive month. The number of unemployed persons, at 6.7 million, changed little over the month."

Employment Situation Summary

Now for a lesson in math: Which is bigger?

1.) 6.7 million

2.) 172 million

The report is for initial jobless claims and isn't correlated to the LFPR, the people on unemployment are still considered to be part of the labor force.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Progs,

How, specifically is it bad that unemployment claims are near a 40 year low?

When people are working and earning a PAYCHECK...that INCOME IS TAXED.

So...not only does to government REDUCE their WELFARE SPENDING ON EVERY PERSON WHO US EMPLYED.....THE GOVERNMENT COLLECTS TAXES....

So they save on the SPENDING SIDE and they ADD TAX REVENUE.

How is that bad?

 

[Dschrute3]

Remember folks, the last thing Communists/Democrats want, is a happy prosperous Citizenry. They desperately need more folks in poverty and fully dependent on Government. They need mass discontent to advance their Agenda. So don't expect any Democrats to celebrate this good news. It's actually very bad news for them. They suck. It is what it is.

Give it up, dumbass. You people have lost what little credibility you might have had at one time.

Nobody's buying it any more.

This will blow your mind, but both numbers are correct. The 172 million includes all children and retired folks, stay at home parents, as we as the “unemployed”.

It is a misleading use of the facts by leaving out the details. I am surprised you do not recognize the number; it is what Trump was pushing before he became POTUS

It's "bad" if your objective is to turn everybody into government dependents.
