Comments on: Unemployment Applications Plummet

New Claims For Jobless Benefits Drop Lower Than Economists Had Predicted

[glock4me]

Seems like things here in the good ol'' USA aren''t as bad as some try to claim. A solid indicator of this is that people are still trying to leave other countries to come here.

Good news for America = Bad news for Obama.

"The number of NEWLY laid off U.S. workers..."

But how many TOTAL US workers are unemployed? How many have used up their unemployment benefits? How many have just given up looking? How many are "employed", but at worthless jobs that can''t support a family, like at McD''s? How many HAVE jobs, but are still going under because the cost of food, gas, and medicine are all skyrocketing?

We''ve all been Bushwhacked!

Minmum wage jobs don''t signal prosperity Mr. Bushwacker. And no, I am not going to buy a new home and appliances with your rebate check.

NEW claim plummet.

That doesn''t mean nobody is unemployed .. just that FEWER jobs were lost than last week.

Spin talk .. like when they say unemployment rolls dropped .. because when someone runs out of unemployment they fall off the rolls .. doesn''t mean they''re employed.

Everyone should know by now that the data is flawed.
The government only keeps track of certain numbers.
Example: They only publish the number of people who are collecting unemployment, but they don''''t publish the number of people who have used up their un-employment and now are truly in the hurt-locker.

"Bad news for the dems....It must be horrible to go through life hoping for bad news''.

Another A$$hole, all in the kool-aid and don''t even know the flavor.

So no-body filed for unemployment, that''s because the CEO''s and Board of directors haven''t decided how many more to lay off, to keep themselves as rich as possible. You what would be great, to see Senior Management outsourced. See how they like it.
