Who published these numbers?
And who did they leave out?
The Labor Department lol and it is only for first-time filers!
First-time filings for jobless benefits totaled 233,000 for the week, a decline of 17,000 from the previous week’s upwardly revised level and lower than the Dow Jones estimate for 240,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday.

Yes, so they are leaving a huge amount out.
So the numbers look small.

This is a weekly released number the one from last week was the monthly number for the previous month! Essentially this is supposed to provide a snap shot into what the labor market is like atm

If they added all the numbers up it might be more accurate.
