U.S. jobless claims fall, revisit 1973 level

Yay Obama>. I'm sure though that the republicans will get back in control and allow corporations to ship our jobs overseas again like Bush did. Trump would be big on that. Almighty dollar comes first for those guys.

Oh please! The FED has already mentioned that 94 million working aged adults are not even working in todays economy. The FED chairman said they can't help it if those people don't want to work. If You believe the unemployment rate is 5% then You need to put down the bong and actually pay attention to what is really going on.

GDP is not up...it is projected to the MINUS side for 1st q of 2016.....
Consumer spending is also DOWN....
The stats lie and or you are mistaken according to my sources....

The only way this could be accurate is if they used the same criteria and guidelines they used for figuring this in 1973. They can make these numbers represent anything they want.
