It's The Economy Stupid: The Jobless Numbers Geaux Down

The Jobless Numbers Geaux Down

 

Economic Event	Period	Economic Survey	Actual Reported	Original Prior	Revised Prior
Initial Jobless Claims	JAN 19	355K	330K	335K
Continuing Claims	JAN 12	3200K	3157K	3214K	3228K

 

What’s there to say.  The Jobless Claims are down.  Below economists’ expectations.  Less than the prior period’s numbers. 

 

Less Jobless.

 

That’s a good thing for the economy.
