And last week’s number was revised upward again. Unexpectedly!
And our chocolate ration was raised from 30 grams/week to 25 grams/week.
Yay Socialisms!
China’s superior economic model, by Wade Rathke’s conduit to the Administration Andy Stern.
Masks off.
One would expect that there would be a seasonal uptick due to temp workers for the holidays. That they are not evn seeing that yet should be very disturbing, at least to rational people.
Every kid entering college right now needs to seriously reconsider and think about going into a skilled trade. Unless they want to be doctors or engineers, just about everything else is useless.
I have a friend with 4 kids in college, and none of them majored in a hard science. I see bleak days ahead.
Wrote my Team R critter a couple months ago, demanding that Holder go.
No reply. Instead he fills my inbox with polls, asking if it’s the Dems or the Reps who should fix this or that.
Pursuant the topic, I’m thinking that urgently urging the dufus to introduce with urgency a bill criminalizing Communism– you know, because of the wiles of free-speaking democracy as the left proudly wields it to bring democracy to an end east of the Pacific — might just go nowhere.
Just a hunch. I mean, it might. Like the one that says we’re screwed.
Which requires a manufacturing base to fund. Which means a death spiral with said China.
Which has begun.
Endgame = seeing whose shit currency holds on the longest.
“this is a slow and uneven recovery”
-local TV news reader
The headline figure is seasonally adjusted. The holiday employment effect can be seen in the unadjusted data which showed a significant decline in new claims last week. The main point is that joblessness continues to be a problem.
What are the chances of Italy being able to honor 5% on a 3 month note?
The superior China Model, like the superior EU Model before it, is entirely dependent on the American consumer.
JD, about the same chance that Sarah Palin will reveal that she is really a gender-reassigned, surgically altered, not-really-dead Sonny Bono. And that Bristol is a robot.
Thanks, Darth. I am a greedy capitalist.
I should also point out that the unadjusted claims data for last week reflects the Thanksgiving closure of state labor offices whereas the headline figure includes an adjustment factor to compensate for the lost day.
I had a mom at a soccer game (meaning, I know her, but don’t “know-know” her) tell me about how her son is gearing up for college and wants to study/be a “sports journalist”.
What planet are these people living on?
China and the Fed.
JD, Italy can easily afford to pay 5% on a three month note. All Italy has to do is put Florence up as collateral, borrow against the art treasures in Florence and voila! payment made.
JD – my husband has nixed the Tough Mudder in April. He says he fears for my inability to deal with the cold.
But there is one in Aug in Toronto …
Carin – Your hubby is a pissy :-) I have faith in you.
I dunno. I was kinda of worried about it myself. August sounds a lot nicer.
If it were just running, no problem. But running while wet? In April.
I *may* die.
I did not die in November, nor will I die in March ;-)
So he’s admitting he doesn’t know how to buy pizza?
I’m a bit weird, though. some days, I go and sit in my car just to warm up. After the half, and it was in the 50’s, I almost died shivering to death.
I’m getting old, or something.
I’m officially cold right now, and it’s currently 67° out.
Every kid entering college right now needs to seriously reconsider and think about going into a skilled trade.
I don’t think so. My senior-in-college son is all thumbs and hates math, but has a photographic memory and is a fantastically talented writer. The world needs people with a command of the written word, as well. His HS aged brother is the math and science whiz kid.
Greedy capitalist bastards. Want to really make them pay? Cut tax rates.
And give up class warfare rhetoric? Shirley, you jest.
I didn’t even go past the headline, but I’m guessing this unexpected neglects to mention a government shutdown in which the moron governor’s desire to spend, tax, and borrow more was denied by the Republicans. Hmmmm? Any kind of causality there? Let’s see.
Somebody beat something down, we can’t remember who was on what side but anyway let’s start spending it! Unexpected free money is the best free money.
The Strib will see to it that Dayton gets all the credit for having the courage to shut down the government.
I’m officially warm right now, it’s 38 and the 6 inches of heavy wet stuff is melting.
Giving it back never crosses their minds does it?
“Every kid entering college right now needs to seriously reconsider and think about going into a skilled trade.”
I don’t think entrepreneurship is completely dead. For example, a friend of mine just started his own business. He manufactures landmines that look like prayer mats. It’s doing well…
…He says prophets are going through the roof.
the war on jobs grinds on
obama is indefatigable
