Jobless claims dip
« on: February 12, 2009, 07:23:38 AM »
It's getting better,

Number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits falls to 623,000, while those living on benefits at record high.

The number of Americans filing for first-time unemployment benefits last week edged off a 26-year high, but was greater than expected, according to a government report released Thursday.

In addition, the number of workers receiving unemployment checks for one week or more spiked by 11,000 to reach a record high of 4.8 million for the week ending Jan. 31, the most recent data available.

IT IS NOT GETTING BETTER.... when claims are being filed at the rate of 400,000 to 600,000 per week how is that BETTER? There is nothing showing that 400,000 to 600,000 new jobs are being created per week or even per month. We are hearing of hundreds of thousands of jobs being eliminated PER MONTH with no report of job creation. Things are getting worst and will continue to do so until the final nail is hammered in to the coffin.

The fact that there is less is good, the fact that spending was up in Jan was good. Its certainly not making things worse.
