It appears that there are some people joining the jobless claims lines while there are others who are moving into jobs by quitting the jobless lines. This has resulted in the considerable slowing down of the increase in aggregate number of jobless claims. we have gone from 300,000 people a month joining the jobless lines to just about 2,000 per month.
