Were the unemployment figures supposed to come

On edit: My local newspaper (www.gazette.com) here in Colorado
Springs, stated that "recovery is just around the corner" and
that jobs were being created at a very "fast pace". :wow:

Meanwhile, I looked at the Denver Post and they had more
realistic figures stating that they had to revise UPWARDS the
number of unemployed.

Jobwatch.org states that the situation ACROSS the nation is
abysmal to say the least.

I really wish they would stop trying to spin it...

2. They usually come out on Friday
If I had to guess, I would guess down, but that is only because folks are getting to the end of their benefits and not due to job creation. This report will be similar to the others recently, low unemployment numbers but even lower job creation numbers. At some point, from a political point of view, we have to hope for a point break in the American psyche and see if the rage can translate into votes.

5. 345 to 343 was changed to 347 to 341 by changing last week - so a solid 6
thousand decrease in new claims -estimated - is reported!

I do love GOP numbers!
