So after 6 weeks of it being exactly 215k, last week intial claims dropped to 208k now this week its exactly 208k again

The USDA will do “forecasts” where they keep some numbers exactly the same for like ten years. Not very helpful.

Everything the FedGov says is a lie - every department is corrupt and they rely on a sycophant corrupt media to propagate their lies.

No it’s not, and you’re the one making up numbers. It was 5/6 weeks at 212k, and that was only the seasonally adjusted numbers. The state by state variation and the non-seasonally adjusted numbers were much different.

Also, the last time a similar streak happened was under Trump, but I don’t recall the claims of BLS making things up back then.

No way Biden lets anything slip too bad until election. I mean after all inflation is definitely under control and he has the nation on the right track.
