Jobless claims for the latest week came in slightly better than
expected again. While economists were forecasting a slight
increase in claims to 270K from 268K, the actual level declined to
267K. This is now the 65th straight week that claims have
been below 300K. That’s the longest streak since 1973.
Maybe the longest streak since so many people have just given up
looking for a job and are on some kind of govt assistance.
Can't lose your job if you don't have one to lose.
