Anonymous Coward User ID: 9117806 United States 01/19/2012 01:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is absolute and total bullshit. There are less people because less people can qualify now. Eventually the "new" unemployment claims will be ZERO because there will be nobody left that will qualify. If the stats come from the govt assume they are 100% lies. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 9146360 United States 01/19/2012 01:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The number of people seeking unemployment benefits plummeted last week to 352,000, the fewest since April 2008. The decline added to evidence that the job market is strengthening. Quoting: IS-BE Applications fell 50,000, the biggest drop in the seasonally adjusted figure in more than six years, the Labor Department said Thursday. The four-week average, which smooths out fluctuations, dropped to 379,000. That's the second-lowest such figure in more than three years. For all of 2011, the economy added 1.6 million jobs. That was up sharply from 940,000 in 2010. Economists say they expect roughly 1.9 million more jobs to be added this year, according to a survey by The Associated Press. Snip - Less than 50%.

Debauchery User ID: 5892134 United States 01/20/2012 08:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Blah blah blah.. Claims went down because the fuck load of people that filed claims a year or more ago have exhausted their benefits. They no longer qualify. You do understand this don't you? And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die. |
