Look beneath the numbers, Sr K: Claims: +369k From the US Department of Lies: In the week ending October 20, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 369,000, a decrease of 23,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 392,000. The 4-week moving average was 368,000, an increase of 1,500 from the previous week's revised average of 366,500. Meh. Still stinky. What's the big table tell us? Some decrease in the regular claims, but the roll-off from extended benefits continues. Bottom line: This is not job creation, it's people exhausting elegibility.
