Unemployment Claims at 52-Year Low! Thanks Biden.

"The number of Americans applying for first-time jobless claims reached the lowest level since November 1969, with the number of filings dropping to 199,000.

Improvements in the labor market have been broad-based, with the weekly rate of those rendered newly unemployed falling precipitously across the country since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic last year.

For a number of states, this key labor market metric improved to its best level in two years, showing an even smaller proportion of their populations were claiming jobless benefits than before the coronavirus outbreak.

"I don't even think you can call it an economic recovery anymore," Chris Rupkey, chief economist for FWDBONDS, told Yahoo Finance Live. "Remember the best economy in 50 years late in 2019? Well, we're way, way, way above that right now. I don’t even think you can call this a reopening of the economy after the pandemic — we’re miles and miles ahead of the fourth quarter of 2019.”"

AOL? Really? They still have news? Sounds fake to me. Please post a more reputable source.

Allowing businesses, that were closed by Democrat governors a year ago, to reopen, now....is not creating anything.

My word leftoids are fucking idiots.

Here's the same story from a GQP-approved site...

Thanks Sam. Thanks to Trump and his policies, the unemployment rate is going down.

GQP! Grand QANON Party.

So, you admit that you're QANON and Fox is propaganda.

reply

[–] Bubbathegut (18242) 3 years ago

So, you are basically saying that the article from AOL and Fox business that you posted is propaganda? Seems legit.

reply

[–] Keelai (36149) 3 years ago

I'm basically agreeing with you about your Q-Anon cult status.

re: links
AOL is fine. Fox put a biased spin in their version which isn't surprising since they don't want to credit Biden with anything.

[–] Bubbathegut (18242) 3 years ago

Key word is "new" unemployment claims. How about total unemployment claims? If everybody is already on unemployment, there's not going to be a lot of new claims.

reply

[–] Keelai (36149) 3 years ago

Officially at 4.6% which is very low. Once again, credit goes to President Biden for fixing the mess which Trump left the country in.

reply

[–] Bubbathegut (18242) 3 years ago

Your trolling skills have dropped 65.2% since dementia Joe assumed control of America. I have heard you are polling at a dismal 3%.

reply

[–] Keelai (36149) 3 years ago

A real American would be happy that unemployment has dropped.

reply

[–] kspkap (13626) 3 years ago

Well, hell yes there are lower jobless claims. I’m not surprised. Did they factor in the millions who have walked off their jobs? I repeat…millions. In order to file and qualify for unemployment your job had to end due to no fault of your own. You can’t walk off your job and qualify for jobless claims! You are seeing roses without noticing the thorns!

Employee market. Low unemployment.

To paraphrase a very wise man,

Keelai, you ignorant slut.

How do you *ucking breath?

Komrade Keeloid is a complete and confirmed liar. No one believes a thing she says.

[–] Keelai (36149) 3 years ago

"I don't read your posts."

Yes, you do! And you're responding.

That makes you a liar.

[–] Keelai (36149) 3 years ago

Interesting to read the anti-American posts from Trumpites and QAnoners.

They refuse to celebrate the wonderful news about fellow Americans!

It's wonderful to have a president who actually works instead of inciting violence through tweets.

reply

[–] kspkap (13626) 3 years ago

He works by attempting to conceal his dementia. It’s there, Keelai if you would just admit it. Biden is in trouble. Dementia Or Alzheimer’s. You aren’t dumb so remove your rose colored glasses or quit drinking the Kool-aid and admit he’s in trouble mentally. He’s becoming the laughing stock of the world!

Here is my prior reply again which you Dismissed, Denied, Deflected and/or were Dumbfounded!

”Well, hell yes there are lower jobless claims. I’m not surprised. Did they factor in the millions who have walked off their jobs? I repeat…millions. In order to file and qualify for unemployment your job had to end due to no fault of your own. You can’t walk off your job and qualify for jobless claims!

More ageism from you. William Shatner and Biden are both a wonderful inspiration.

That lazy turd Trump only tweeted and watched TV.

reply

[–] kspkap (13626) 3 years ago

Again you deviated from my response to you. What in the hell does William Shatner have to do with the discussion at hand? Ageism has nothing to do with Biden’s problem. His mental acuity is shot! He is getting worse by the day. I have pity for him as dementia and/or Alzheimer’s is no laughing matter. Good Grief! He can’t comprehend what is written on his note cards or understand what is on the monitor.

You people need to wake up and admit he’s in serious trouble. I think you know something isn’t quite right with him so you deflect. Your only recourse is to once again bring Trump into the mix. BTW, he’s only 8 months older than I am so ageism doesn’t exist. 🙅🏼‍♀️ Gotcha!

reply

[–] Keelai (36149) 3 years ago

Your disgusting vile ageist attacks are from Fox. Very vile to see 20-30 year olds making stupid remarks. You should know better!

"Unemployment Claims at 52-Year Low! Thanks Biden."
And the Infrastructure Bill was signed! Great job!

[–] kspkap (13626) 3 years ago

Hey Dip-wad, did you miss the following from my reply to you?

”BTW, he’s only 8 months older than I am so ageism doesn’t exist. 🙅🏼‍♀️ Gotcha!”

Damn, I wish I was 20-30 years old again!

Calling out the truth of someone’s mental acuity is not vile. On the other hand you leftist lemmings are the vile ones! You put a man in office who is getting worse day by day. He’s supposed to be the leader of the free world, but he can’t even say two sentences without mumbling. It’s a pitiful sight to watch someone deteriorate right before our eyes.

Again for the 3rd time:

”Well, hell yes there are lower jobless claims. I’m not surprised. Did they factor in the millions who have walked off their jobs? I repeat…millions. In order to file and qualify for unemployment your job had to end due to no fault of your own. You can’t walk off your job and qualify for jobless claims!

You get your news from MC posters. LOL!

[–] JoeBlow88 (574) 3 years ago

The truth is that only half the country works. However, many of those who don't work are retired or in education.

reply

[–] Keelai (36149) 3 years ago

Unemployment stats only count people actively looking for work.

reply

[–] ProgsReturn (2232) 3 years ago

Why bother claiming unemployment benefits or even working at all when the Democrats mail you stimulus checks every few weeks?

reply

[–] Keelai (36149) 3 years ago

I bet you happily cashed those socialist checks which you pretend to dislike, too!

reply

[–] ProgsReturn (2232) 3 years ago

Why would I dislike them?

reply

[–] Keelai (36149) 3 years ago

You're criticizing them. Don't forget that many Americans were struggling to pay bills when Trump almost collapsed the economy. Trump issued the first stimulus checks and welfare checks for farmers whose businesses he hurt.

reply

[–] ProgsReturn (2232) 3 years ago

You're already being vapourized on the politics board with this claim.

reply

[–] Keelai (36149) 3 years ago

Not really. I'm just pointing out GQP hypocrisy.

reply

[–] ProgsReturn (2232) 3 years ago

Ironic, as everyone there is pointing out your hypocrisy.

reply

[–] Keelai (36149) 3 years ago

You mean triggered trolls.
