No, we didn’t forget … just got busy yesterday.
Now we’re up to 69 out of 70 weeks that the BLS’s “headline number” has under-reported the number of initial unemployment claims … and cast the jobs situation as brighter than it really is.
Based on Thursday’s BLS report, the number for the week ending June 30 was revised upward from 374,000 to 376,000.
Again, I ask: statistical bias or political bias?
If the former: fix it already, BLS !
