THE “MEDIA SPIN” ON NUMBERS IN THE TANK...: The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits rose slightly last week but was still near its lowest level since before the 2007-09 recession, a hopeful sign for the U.S. economy. The pullback in layoffs has helped bring about a substantial fall in the jobless rate, and the trend in jobless claims. While layoffs are roughly half their level in early 2009, the recovery in job creation has been more lackluster. Employers added just 162,000 workers to their payrolls in July. The claims report showed the number of people still receiving benefits under regular state programs after an initial week of aid rose 67,000 to 3.018 million in the week ended July 27. ---------------------------- ISN’T IT INTERESTING HOW THE MEDIA CAN IGNORE SO MANY IMPORTANT FACTS? GEE, I WONDER WHY THAT IS? COULD IT POSSIBLY BE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ADMINISTRATION? NAHHH! COME ON. THIS IS AMERICA AND THINGS LIKE THAT JUST CAN’T HAPPEN. ;-)
