Re: Unemployment claims: 2010 (dol.gov data)

More 'unexpected' increases in unemployment claims. 4 week average still rising. EUC jumps over 280K. Notice also revision upwards for 1/23 and 1/16 numbers.

Re: Unemployment claims: 2010 (dol.gov data)

The latest unemployment claims report: a 'surprising' larger drop in number of claims.

Yet the absolute numbers of those still on unemployment is the same as 1 year ago...

Extended Unemployment (EUC) numbers drop 184K, but are 3.6M more than 1 year ago...
