Those INITIAL Unemployment Claim numbers!

Those INITIAL Unemployment Claim numbers!


-------------------------------------------------------------​---------
INITIAL CLAIMS are the total number of people who have filled out claims for unemployment insurance each week across the nation. They are almost always revised a few days after they are issued, as not all of the states send in all of their claim numbers.

Note that in May the total of people claiming UI was close to 3 Million. Those were people who were previously employed and felt that they were entitled to UI. Some of course will be ruled ineligible. That usually runs about 2% across the states. If it was three of four percent, May still had two and a half MILLION people who filed and probably got their payments.

So, how in hell can Obama say that only 345,000 were newly unemployed in May????????? This administrations is so damned corrupt it is unbelievable.

From now on in, these are the only numbers that I will look at to see if the Economic collapse is slowing down. So far it is not. anytime, you have two million people a month losing their jobs, there are no green shoots.
