Don't you love how the media spins the worse than expected weekly jobless claims? For what it's worth, I have been trying to switch jobs and while I got some responses earlier in the year, I am getting none now and for that matter the number of actual new job postings has completely dried up in the last few weeks. I get maybe 1-2 new job postings sent to me from the NY Times - under search filed "Marketing" - every week. That's pathetic. 8:40AM: Jobless claims rose 15K to 394K; this was well above Briefing.com's 375K estimate, and the consensus estimate of 373K, but will not change anyone's labor market view given that any one week's claims surprise is not enough to form a trend, particularly after the recent long stretch of stability in the claims trend....
