Not very expert at their jobs if they are constantly caught short.

Initial jobless claims increase unexpectedly
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Initial-jobless-claims-apf-355511092.html?x=0&.v=7

Only the ignorant neo-con culture sucks up movenments day by day and proclaim the sky is falling.

However, the total number of Americans claiming jobless benefits fell, declining by 131,000 to 4.55m. Analysts say that the recent declines in continuing claims reflect a combination of increased hiring and of unemployed workers seeing their benefits expire.

Yeah America gaining even slowly sucks eh….

Or was it the hiring of census workers. There real long time job growth for you.

Underemployment Hits 20% in Mid-March

Real progress? Gaining what?

Just unexpected.

LOL not only do you continue to use daily figures to sustain your flip-flop mentality It also looks like your counting the military as being unemployed LOL and of course your assumption that census workers are the reason for the fall in unemployment figures since last October is ludicrous. Must be one of your ideas as I cannot believe that your cut and paste masters Palin/Limbaugh would be so stupid. But then I could be wrong eh!

The unemployment rate in the United States was 9.70 percent in March of 2010. The labour force is defined as the number of people employed plus the number unemployed but seeking work. The nonlabour force includes those who are not looking for work, those who are institutionalised and those serving in the military.

unemployment rate

Employment in the U.S. increased in March by the most in three years and the unemployment rate held at 9.7 percent as companies gained confidence the economic recovery will be sustained.

So you got it wrong once again. You cannot even get your long term and short term hiring right.

You always talk about me missing the point and you’ve blown by this one by a mile and a half.

The title of the thread is ‘unexpected again’. The point of the thread is unexpected again. The title of the article included the word unexpectedly.

Why is it unexpected? Nothing BO has done in his time in office has helped businesses want to hire people.

LOL
Let’s see if we have it; you proclaim your subject line has some relevance to something you did not cut and paste and as usual did not use quotation marks. I suppose you may have a point as it does have an unexpected affect on your single grey cell.

You brought up unexpected unemployment, you thought your 20% unexpected figure had some sort of unexpected meaning—you brought it up not I; you were right the unexpected meaning was no meaning at all. As you like to use inaccurate representations of unemployment figures I just thought it was time to fill you in on the facts of life.

The only thing really expected was your last post trying to change the subject matter from actual unemployment figures which prove steps taken by the administration are starting to take hold, your crude attempts to slime away from your proclamation that the census takers employment make the difference. Yup nothing at all unexpected here.

Quotation marks?
How much of an idiot are you really?

t marked the second week that claims took an unexpected leap.

A government analyst, however, cautioned against reading too much into both weeks’ figures, saying they were clouded by seasonal adjustment difficulties related to the Easter holiday, which falls on different weeks each year.

It is so funny that these analysts and experts have so much trouble with a holiday that was on the calendar a year ago. It moves around. So!

For instance, for the same week a year ago, first-time claims totaled 609,000, compared with the current 484,000. Applications for jobless claims peaked during the recession at 651,000 in late March 2009.

It is not the analysts or experts who have a problem, it is those who grasp at straws and fail to recognise trends that are unable to adapt.

The question still is: why is it always “unexpected”?

K. if you do not know to the second when you want to go to the toilette 5 hours in advance it is an unexpected incident? NO you knew sooner or later you would relieve yourself.  The “unexpected” is really something else. Stop grasping at wet straws.

Interesting analogy: body function and BO’s economic abilities.
Actually pretty close to the same.

LOL Comprehension was never on your list of “to do’s ” eh….

Communication was never on your list of abilities.

I know you will find this very hard to comprehend but the President of the USA does not make the statistics. There is an Army of long term employed bureaucrat’s that do the number crunching plus an abundance of non-government organizations.

It appears from your replies that my concerns about your mental capabilities that I not only communicated to you but those thoughts were processed by your single working grey cell.  It is always difficult to lower the discussion to your meager capabilities but I do try to be inclusive.

And you do it with such great mediocrity.
