Trump is out there with many others making things better for us. The economy/jobs continue to kick ass. Nearly 50 year low in unemployment!!
--
New U.S. jobless claims fall 15,000 to 202,000 and return close to a 50-year low
The numbers: The number of Americans who applied for unemployment benefits at the end of January fell close to a postrecession low, signaling the U.S. labor market is still rock solid despite stiffer economic headwinds.
Initial jobless claims declined by 15,000 to 202,000 in the seven days ended Feb. 1, the government said Thursday. The figures are seasonally adjusted.
Economists polled by MarketWatch had forecast a 215,000 reading.
The more stable monthly average of jobless claims, which filters out the weekly ups and downs, dropped by 3,000 to 211,750.
New unemployment applications are seen as a rough measure of how many people are losing their jobs. They touched a 50-year low of 193,000 in April 2019 and have hovered in the low 200,000s since then.
