The lowest interest rates since 1958. About $450 Billion in deficit spending and unemployment the same as it was one year ago. What does that tell you?

As I said; "No, the number of unemployed workers is rising. (As opposed to the 'number of new claims for unemployment compensation', which fell slightly in the latest week.) This is just a blip in the data, largely caused by even more people exhausting their claims, and thus not being counted anymore in the 'unemployment numbers'. The number of unemployed NOT DRAWING COMPENSATION any longer is at least as great as the number STILL drawing payments.
