Initial Claims Spike Most Since Sandy To Worst In 9 Months
While the Labor Department admits "difficulties in seasonally adjusting" the data, this is the biggest spike ex-Sandy in the all-important initial claims data since 2005. At 368k (versus 320k expectations), this is the worst miss sicne Sandy also (absent the government shutdown debacles) and the Labor department says no states were estimated. This is the worst initial claims print since March... just enough bad news to provide the Fed some leeway? Of course, with enough statistical noise to sink an economy, it would appear another government-inspired data series has become next-to-useless ammo for the baffle 'em with bullshit brigade.

Shame he is dead.Instead we have Wil E Coyote.
"Difficulties in seasonally-adjusting"--in common laguage "we didn't cook the data enough!"
Pure propaganda.
Exceptionalism will pull us out of joblessness, even with the cuts in extended unemployment.
This sucker is going down! I am in IT staffing and yes - no open positions.......Booooo!

I just upgraded my iPad IOS to 7.02 and since I did that my pad is going slower and in the background webpages that I visited weeks ago pop open, apps open up in the background
my iCloud suddenly has all the pictures I once put on my iPad but deleted months ago and now they're back...
Do you have a answer for all of this and how to fix it? You can just break up your anwer according to the Q&A and you can add as many links with pictures to support your answer.
Mine continually locks up and links dont work if i can even scroll thru sites. I have to shutdown and restart my ipad almost everyother day now, which i never had to do before "upgrade". If i can scroll thru websites if i touch, without clicking, an ad it opens in a new window. Sometimes ad pages just open outta nowhere. The new ios blows goat. Will never buy another apple product again.
Fuck that shit! I also have that!
yep... next one will be the Dell tablet that is laptop and tablet
Simple fix. Do a restore to earlier point and do not upgrade for 90 days until a fix comes in. ANd that will cost you $65.
and risk losing all my highscores in my games... no thank you...
You're not a savvy computerist if you don't buy a Lexar 32GB USB memory stick and back up all your important data. It comes with software that allows you to back up any file or folder (as many as you choose provided you don't exceed 30 GB. Once your data is picked, any time you use the stick it will back up all changed files and folders you originally selected. Now-a-days it goes for about $30. Windows 7 acknowledges it. No extra drivers needed. Google it.
I notice they bounce the futures on this 'bad' news but keep gold down, what a farce this is
Some good news: Stores might have to hire extra people for their Return Department.

If you like your lies, you can keep your lies.
I'm Baffled! Does this mean I share my free shit with another 48k assuming the 320k folks have been factored in?
Off topic but fuck your bird!

STATEN ISLAND — Evelyn Lugo, a 57-yr-old mother in Staten Island, is devastated after police officers broke into her house without a warrant, beat up her children, and murdered her pet parakeet, according to the lawsuit.
Evelyn’s bird, Tito, was a small parakeet that clearly posed no danger to the officers.
“It was a blue and green bird. It was really pretty,” said Anna, Evelyn’s daughter.
At some point during the break-in, officers caused Tito’s cage to fall off of a dresser and crash onto the floor, according to court records.
“I screamed, ‘The bird!’ said Anna.
That’s when police said “Fuck your bird!” and began crushing and stomping the parakeet to death.

both have full pictures of the carnage including the beatings broken property and dead parakeet.
People move into bear territory, bear attact people. Bear attack people, cops go after bear. Now if your parakeet bites a cop, cops go after parakeet. You can apply just about any animal and the story's hold true. It's an animalistic world out there, beware of the law is your best bet.
Cue comments about a few bad apples, or how they should sue the cops for everything they got.
Let me tell you, the cops have no money that they first don't extract from everyone else.
And when the time comes, you will see just how many bad apples there are.

Funny you mention that but supposedly they stomped out this sort of corruption years ago. File this one under the more things change the more they stay the same.

A NYPD cop and two goons — including a reputed gangster who was involved in a fatal stabbing of a groom-to-be — were charged Tuesday with extorting monthly "protection" payments from an Albanian restaurant in Queens, federal authorities said.
The cop, Besnik Llakatura, conspired to shake down the restaurant owner with Llakatura playing the role of the good cop with the victim who was his friend, authorities said.
The restaurant owner went to Llakatura, a friend he knew was a cop, and asked what he should do. Llakatura advised the restaurant owner from reporting the extortion telling him he had no choice but to make the payments, authorities said.
The victim shelled out a total of $24,000 over five months for the phony protection.
In a phone call intercepted by the feds, Llakatura jokingly referred to how he "taxes" local businesses, according to court papers filed in Brooklyn Federal Court.

No big deal. It is due to the weather.
They need to get the number back over 400,000, that would be very bullish.
Jobless claims go down only when McDonalds opens new stores. QE only makes the stock market go up until we get some trickle effect much the same as after a urination. We are in an age of Pissy Economics with an overinflated deficit bladder waiting to collapse in a sea of liquidity but no jobs or economic growth in the US .
I hear there's a job available in SA to for a con artist to the deaf.
He was just more proficient at translating Ebonics than English
Not adjusted, there were 461k initial claims filings, compared to 429k in the corresponding week last year.
Not that it matters or anything.
this is of course the good economic news that explains the paper price action in Gold and Silver this morning right????
again, RIGHT????????
No wonder they are wasting everyone's time trying to sit on gold.
Someone tell Steve Doucheman
