The current streak eclipsed the previous longest stretch that ended in April 1970. Taking into account the size of the labor force, claims today compared to the late 1960s and early 1970s are much lower. In March, about 14 initial jobless claims were filed for every 10,000 people in the labor force, Labor Department data show. This compares with 23 claims filed per 10,000 in spring of 1969.

This year, about twice as many people are in the labor force as in 1969.

Not really. The OP's trying to sneak it in but "jobless claims" means applications for unemployment compensation. There are myriad factors that can affect that including more stringent disqualification standards.

OP article requires subscription so details on that are (conveniently) not available.

The other aspect of growth is that it is that it is greatest where the Ds are the weakest.

The left hate to see people working and wages rising.
