Good news -- the fewest number of Americans filed for unemployment benefits last week in more than four years.
(Reuters) - The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits slid last week to the lowest level in more than four and a half years, according to government data that may provide a boost to President Barack Obama a month before voters go to the polls. [...]
A Labor Department analyst said seasonal factors had predicted a very large increase in claims last week, which he said would be typical for the first week of the quarter. Unadjusted claims did rise, but far less than expected, resulting in the sharp drop in the seasonally adjusted figure.
Does this mean every person who didn't file for benefits is part of the grand liberal conspiracy to fix BLS data?
