264,000 Americans filed for jobless benefits for the first time last week – the highest number since October 2021…

California, New Jersey, and Connecticut saw the largest jump in initial claims as perhaps the tech layoffs are starting to register (as severance packages run dry)…

The unemployment rate in the US increased to 3.7 percent in May 2023, the highest since October 2022 and above market expectations of 3.5 percent. Despite this uptick, the jobless rate remained historically low and suggested the labor market remained tight. The number of unemployed people increased by 440 thousand to 6.10 million and employment levels declined by 310 thousand to 160.72 million. The so-called U-6 unemployment rate, which also includes people who want to work, but have given up searching and those working part-time because they cannot find full-time employment, rose to 6.7 percent in May, also above forecasts of 6.6 percent.

  4. The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesn’t fail me as much as this one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read through, however I genuinely believed you’d have something useful to say. All I hear is a bunch of crying about something you could fix if you were not too busy looking for attention.

  5. Can I simply say what a comfort to discover a person that truly knows what they are talking about on the web. You certainly understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More people really need to look at this and understand this side of the story. I was surprised that you aren’t more popular since you most certainly possess the gift.

  6. When I originally commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on whenever a comment is added I get four emails with the exact same comment. Perhaps there is a way you are able to remove me from that service? Kudos.

  9. Hi there, I do think your web site may be having browser compatibility issues. When I take a look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening in Internet Explorer, it’s got some overlapping issues. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other than that, fantastic website!

  10. I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I came across this during my hunt for something regarding this.
