The Department of Labor has announced that new jobless claims rose by a staggering 78,000 in the first week after the election, reaching a seasonally-adjusted total of 439,000. Over the past year, and in the weeks leading up to the election, jobless claims were said to be declining, dipping as low as 339,000, with the media proclaiming that they had reached the "lowest level in more than four years." Now, suddenly, the news seems far less rosy.




From the Department of Labor press release this morning:

In the week ending November 10, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 439,000, an increase of 78,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 361,000. The 4-week moving average was 383,750, an increase of 11,750 from the previous week's revised average of 372,000.

Some of the new claims, especially in New Jersey, were due to Hurricane Sandy--but these were offset by a decline in claims filed in New York. The highest numbers of new filings came from Pennsylvania and Ohio, where there were thousands of layoffs in the construction, manufacturing, and automobile industries.
Both states had been targeted by the presidential campaigns. President Obama highlighted his record of job creation in Ohio in particular, focusing on the automobile industry. The state reported 6,450 new jobless claims in the week after the election--second-highest after Pennsylvania, which recorded 7,766 new claims.

It takes a truly misguided soul to act like you guys do.

You live for and love to dig up and amplify whatever bad news you can find to pin it on the President.

. . . Do you think your antics might somehow bring Romney back?

Gawd! Who in the hell would ever want Romney back? Most of us never wanted him in the first place!

And unfortunatley, it will get far worse. Guess they better get in line for their food stamps, and odumbo phones. They can ask him to put gas in their cars, and make the mortgage payments also...... lol

You can't believe people have souls do you? You're a liberal, you are godless.....you believe gay sex is a liberal sacrament. that's why you have the homo-erotic redneck avatar of a mulletted, oiled down shirtless queer.......

Odumbo is the Affirmative Action president who relied on the useful idiots to get elected....the misguided souls are the Odumbo voters who work because Odumbo's gonna shove it up their asses.....he wants to raise taxes $1.6T, and that's more money than the rich have, so you know who's gonna get fucked.....

Oh fuck facts that will make him puke...

[slim deez]

Is it really about the economy anymore. These idiot liberals could care less about jobs. They would vote for Putin as long as they get their free rubbers and get to sue everybody in sight. But that is what the treasury is for though, to keep these sick people in power. Obama has done everything but shred the Constitution in our faces. We have a rough four years ahead of us.

The "numbers are subject to change" ... monthly, if not daily. Power or no power.
