I think I'm beginning to see a pattern here.
Jobless Claims Fall
Initial jobless claims dropped by 9,000 to 424,000 in the week that ended May 24, the Labor Department said Thursday. The four-week moving average, which smoothes out weekly fluctuations, fell to a six-week low of 427,000.
Bush Signs Jobless Benefits Extension
President Bush signed legislation Wednesday [May 28] making federal unemployment benefits available through December.
Jobless Claims Rose by 16,000 to 5-Week High Last Week
Initial jobless claims surged unexpectedly in the week ended May 31, rising by 16,000 to 442,000.
Unexpectedly? Really?
Yep. That was predictable wasn't it?
Those unemployed folks should get the increase in the child tax credit too. They're poor (again) you know.
