New applications for unemployment benefits rose a minimal 1,000 to 234,000 in the third week of May, the Department of Labor reported Thursday, driving the average for the past four weeks down to the lowest it has been in 44 years.


quote:

Thursday's report beat forecasters' expectations, which were for new jobless claims, adjusted for seasonal variations, to rise to 237,000.


quote:

The total number of people receiving unemployment benefits, which are available for up to 26 weeks in most states, also is at the lowest level since 1974, averaged over the past month. There were just 1.9 million such "continuing claims," down from as many as 6.5 million at the height of the recession in 2009.


Ok Dems, let's hear it.

Spin this into something bad.

I hope this is true, but the last BLS report was May 5.

The linked website gave my computer aids and I can't find the quoted Reuters report. Is the Washington Examiner legit?

See, you can't even say, "Man, this is great news. I hope it continues".

You'd be better off just replying to everything with "I hate Trump". It would be more honest.

I'll try for them

Illegals are scared to collect due to fear of deportation. Probably end up dying in the street
